Schedules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many of my classes at Denison University in the 1970\u2019s had \u201chigh stakes\u201d testing.  Two written exams; one in the middle (mid-terms) and one in the end (finals) made up the entire grade for four months work.  There was no room for error, for having a \u201cbad day\u201d or failing to prepare.  Blow the mid-term, and there really was no coming back.  Blow the final, and you wouldn\u2019t even know until you left campus and arrived home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So studying for exams was serious business.  The week before exams there was always a \u201cpattern\u201d:  starting with re-reading underlined texts ( there were highlighters back then, but I didn\u2019t use them).  Then it was onto the pads of notes.  I\u2019m left-handed, so Spiral Notebooks were never my friend.  The spiral always got in the way.  And since for most of my college career I anticipated going to Law School,  \u201clegal pads\u201d were absolutely necessary for note taking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before exams ever began, I wrote a \u201cschedule\u201d.  How many days until the first exam (we had a \u201cstudy week\u201d), how much time between each test, how much effort I needed to make for each class.  There was an organized process, that paced me through to the last exam on the last day, before I loaded the Volkswagen and headed out.  For those who coached with me over the years, they know \u2013 there\u2019s always a schedule.  That started early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pancakes and Pennies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d study until the night before an exam, going so far as to write \u201csample essays\u201d of the possible exam questions.  But at some point, usually past midnight of the day of the exam, we headed to I-Hop (International House of Pancakes) in Newark for a late-night breakfast. I put all the study materials away.  When I was done studying, I was done \u2013 there was no \u201ccramming\u201d at the last second to confuse and distract me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there was one last ritual to perform, to symbolize the completed preparation.  I  lived in Crawford Hall at Denison, farthest to the East from the Academic Quad.  The walk to the main quad passed in front of Swasey Chapel, and in front of the Chapel was a sundial.  That exam-eve night, after returning from I-Hop, my friend Tony and I would stand at the sundial, and throw pennies off the hill and into the darkness, chanting Julius Caesar\u2019s ancient invocation as he crossed the Rubicon:  \u201cAlea Iacta Est\u201d.  We studied, we prepared, there is nothing more to do:  the die was cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Die is Cast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That ritual always served me well on those exams.  I went into the tests confident, and prepared, and other than trying to keep my handwriting legible in the \u201cBlue Books\u201d full of answers, I  did well. (As a career teacher, I am glad that my recent students could take exams by typing rather than writing \u2013 I feel badly for the professors who had to decipher my scrawl).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later as a Coach, \u201cAlea Iacta Est\u201d became important in my strategy.  When training track and field athletes, there is a tendency to try to do \u201cone more thing\u201d, one more workout, one more vault, one more throw.  It was important to know when to stop, when that next interval or attempt wasn\u2019t worth it.  \u201cEnding on a good one\u201d was important mentally, but ending before an athlete was exhausted was critical.  That was even truer at the end of the season.  Rest became more important than effort \u2013 but the pressure to do \u201cone more thing\u201d was intense.  \u201cAlea Iacta Est\u201d\u2013 or as I learned in rural Pataskala when I first arrived \u2013 \u201cthe hay is in the barn\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprinter’s Mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an athlete I had personal \u201crituals\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0My first really competitive sport was swimming \u2013 with all it built in customs.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cShaving down\u201d for the big meet seemed like such a good idea, slipping through the water like a shark:\u00a0\u00a0until it became a \u201cblood-letting\u201d like the shower scene from\u00a0Psycho.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>I determined I needed the red blood cells more than the \u201cmental edge\u201d.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0But being clean and shaven (at least my face) before the meet, any meet, became a ritual for me, in swimming, wrestling and onto my track career as an athlete and coach.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a track athlete I had the \u201csprinter\u2019s mind\u201d of always being warm.  I was a two sweat-suit guy, even on the hot days.  I was usually soaked through before I ever got in the blocks.  But as a coach I envied my peers who wore track warmups to their meets.  I did that a couple of times and we had horrible team performances, so sweats were out for me.  Shoes weren\u2019t that important, on bad weather days boots were just fine, and getting a \u201cTeva Tan\u201d from sandals at the summer meets was great.  But there was the base:  either blue jeans or khaki shorts and the coaching shirt.  For really, really hot meets I might switch to a team t-shirt, but that damn black coaching shirt was always in my bag.  When the pressure was on and the big races up, it went back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damn Shirts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I finally retired that shirt after the 2016 track season, replaced with a different one \u2013 but it looked just like the old one.\u00a0\u00a0That one became \u201cthat damn shirt\u201d for 2017.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s still hanging in the closet, a lingering reminder of coaching the “black and gold”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of shirts \u2013 never, ever, no matter how \u201csure a thing\u201d it might be \u2013 order championship T-Shirts in advance of winning the championship.  It took a rival team in the Ohio Capital Conference to prove that was a bad idea.  They were so sure of themselves:  they wore their new 2009 Team Championship camouflage shirts to the prelims of the 2009 Championship meet.  My kids noticed, and some words were spoken between the teams and even my team and their coaches.  I put a stop to that \u2013 but don\u2019t think I didn\u2019t use that shirt as a motivator for the finals.  We won the Conference by almost fifty points.  I don\u2019t know what our competitors did with those red, white and yellow camo shirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location-Location-Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not obsessive compulsive \u2013 at least not too much.  But as any team I\u2019ve coached will tell you \u2013 I have a spot.  There\u2019s a spot for the team camp, a place for our team warmup, even a spot where  I want to stand to watch the pole vault or yell \u201cARRRRRMMMS\u201d for the 4×400.  At Heath we camp on the high jump end just beside the visitor bleachers.  At Wheeling it\u2019s on the fence at the back-stretch, and at home, it\u2019s across from the south long jump pit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And me \u2013 I want to be at the events I directly coach \u2013 or on the backstretch.  Always on the backstretch \u2013 I can yell, I can talk, and occasionally even swear, without being in the middle of a crowd.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the ritual that prepares me best for coaching (or officiating these days) is \u201cthe walk around\u201d.  Sometime after we arrived at the track, I\u2019d \u201ctake ownership\u201d.  I would walk around the track, looking at field event areas and exchange zone colors; checking how the timing system was set up and where the clerking area was.  I\u2019d learn the place, and organize in my mind how the meet was going to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying Goodbye<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t always work, but the ritual got me ready.\u00a0\u00a0And that last year in cross country at State, and a few years later at the Regional in track, I also took a moment to take it in.\u00a0\u00a0I did a mental check, making sure that it was \u201cOK\u201d for me to go.\u00a0\u00a0I remember standing at Scioto Downs by the south gate, looking across the infield, knowing I was going to retire. \u00a0\u00a0I waited for the onset of \u201cpanic\u201d that would let me know: I couldn\u2019t go through with it and resign. But there was no panic.\u00a0\u00a0I was so confident in what Coach Jarvis would do, the program would only get better.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s how I knew I was ready.\u00a0\u00a0And John has proven me right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
