COACH’S LIFE     ❯❯

Week 1: Saturday 10th September Writing task

My first week as an assistant basketball coach of a team of
12-year-old boys; I was quite anxious at first, but it has gone
brilliantly! I have to slow the boys down because they’ve got so
5  much energy! I wish I had worked out more during the summer,
I’ve already got aching muscles!
Week 2: Saturday 17th September
We did a lot of exercises with the ball and they loved it, but I’ve
10  lost two players because of injuries! If I make them train too
much, we won’t have a team for our first game! Fortunately, the
two injuries were only a swollen ankle and a sprained wrist.
Week 3: Saturday 24th September
15  Our first game and we won by 10 points! If we play like this every
time, we’ll have a good season. The only negative point is some
of the comments from spectators. If only the team didn’t have to
listen to their comments; they seem to think we’re in the NBA!
