Post- Conference Depression

The signs and symptoms when your season ends.

Post- Conference Depression

The season is over. You won or you lost but regardless it is over. Hours upon hours of workouts and film watching has been put to good use. You competed. You did your job but it's over. If you are anything like me, you go through what I like to call "post-conference depression" or "post-season depression". This is the sad part of your athletic career where you go back to square one and start training all over again. Here are some signs that you are suffering from one of these two forms of depression:

1. You don’t know what to do with your time.

After having to fit your team practice schedule into your school schedule you now have hours of free time but have no idea what to do with them. Do you nap? Do you go workout? Do you do school work? The options seem endless.

2. You have no idea how to work out on your own.

After working out with a coach and a team for an entire season and nontraditional season, making up your own workouts can be harder than all of your classes combined. The struggle is all too real.

3. Putting your uniform away is super sad.

There are so many memories that are put into a uniform. That small tear from where you slid into home to win the game, that small stain from when you took the hit, they all bring back memories from a wonderful season and this only reminds you that it has come to a close.

4. You look back at pictures from the season.

The good, the bad and the ugly. Action shots are the best and worst pictures that you will ever have taken of you and you love and hate them all the same.

5. You cry because of the seniors that are leaving.

This might be the absolute worst part of the ending of a season. They encouraged you, they cheered for you, they pushed you. The Seniors brought your team together and now they have to move on.

The good news is that you might still have more seasons. Yes, this season ended but now it's game time. It's time to get back in the weight room. It's time for conditioning. It's time to put in work so that next season is even better.

It's grind time, fam!

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
