As I stated in an earlier post, I am really enjoying being the creative force behind the new minor league basketball team Mid Michigan Destroyers. This week I created their season tickets, the program for their inaugural game as well as souvenir T-shirts. As much as I enjoy working with Coach Newsham I am personally concerned about the amount of projects he is juggling. Not only is he the Head Coach of the team as well as doing all the marketing and finances, but he also has his day job and his home life as a father of two. I met with him several times this week and he looks really worn down and said that he is averaging 2-3 hours of sleep per night. I think I relate with him so well because I can appreciate his passion and the driving force behind seeing a vision come to life. These are also elements that frustrate the hell out of me since he is very hard to get a hold of and pushes deadlines to the midnight hour. But, if I am to continue to be part of this project I have to accept that this is the way that it will be and try to be more patient. Even maybe more understanding of him and the reflection I see of myself.
Tomorrow night Jolene, Cali and I will be attending the first home game and I am very proud to be a part of it.
