i really blame our coaches. they were horrible. with young guys they should have pulled us aside and calmed us down and gave us pointers and thoughts like . . . put the puck on net. dont skate in too fast, etc... funny how sports moments and thier details stay with you. i can replay that shot and a ton of other sports moments like i have it saved on video or something.

I rarely got the start. I was usually the closer. But because our starters had pitched their max innings for the week, I got the start.

| Re: Life gives you one "do over" Mine is easy - Four years ago, I bought a house at auction and tried to rehab it myself by being my on Gen. Contractor. I was a bit cocky b/c I had just bought a new house and turned my then current house into a rental and had come out golden. Unfortunately, I really didn't have my ducks in a row ended up taking way to long to repair it and sold it at a huge loss just as the market dumped. Lost 10 years of savings/equity and am still in the hole over it. Did I learn anything from it? Yes. Was it a lesson worth close to the 100K I lost? Nope.

| Re: Life gives you one "do over" This is a great thread. Sometimes our decisions/experiences don't always sound or seem like much at first glance but I think we all understand how they can be life changing, for better or worse. The one thing I'd like to redo is switching baseball teams in high school. The local club was turned over to a couple lousy coaches who didn't like my step-father and didn't want me on the team. Even though I kicked ass at tryouts they cut me. I put away my pride at first and went to the HC a few days l8r asking if I could basically redshirt for a year. He was pretty young and I could tell he knew I should be on the roster, but he still said no at first. I had an in w/ the head coach of a rival club, but according to some rule the local HC had to release me. When I asked for the release to switch clubs he changed his mind and offered me a spot on the team. He even came to my school to tell me my uniform was already ordered. By then my pride had taken over so I switched anyway. I didn't realize until years l8r it was really the main assistant, an old attorney in town who really hated my step-father, causing all the trouble. The HC was a pretty good guy probably. Anyway I grew up playing ball w/ most of my good friends. Switching clubs meant I spent most of the next year away from those guys, and then instead of playing ball the following season I lived in Europe for the summer w/ a foreign exchange student. Never really reconnected with the guys I grew up with, and I missed playing ball.

| Re: Life gives you one "do over" If I could do it over again I wouldn't have gone to college and would have traveled more.
