ask bit financial kid pay rainbow sit steak
Because of the financial situation, we used to get to the end of the steak dinner, and then you ask them to pay 42,000 dollars, and that was usually a deal-breaker. Now you can sit there and you know that, at the end, there's a little bit of a rainbow if it's a kid you want.

changed competition confidence drive early enjoy enjoyed fun game kids kinds learning pact point practices process routines sports time trusting wins worked year
More than anything, it has been trusting and having confidence in our kids. It has been a lot of fun this year. Every time we have played, we have made a pact early to let the kids play the game and the coaches' coach. That is really what we did all year long. We have changed up some routines to enjoy it more. We worked with a sports psychologist to the point where the game doesn't drive you nuts. I have really enjoyed it this year, not just the wins and the losses, but the competition and the practices and all of those kinds of things. It's a learning process that we all go through.

confident couple glad gone kids last minutes pleased respect shot
The way it's gone down here, a dogfight to the finish, last shot would have pleased me just fine. We have that much respect for Lehigh. The way the last couple minutes went, I was glad our kids did keep their composure. This is a confident bunch. Not cocky, but confident.
