My Lack of Consistency was Consistent

“If you fall down seven times make sure you get up eight.” The quote goes something like that. This is the way I feel about this blog. Consistency is positive or negative. When you don’t do something on a regular basis you are consistently doing that thing. I have been treating my blog poorly on a consistent basis. I will not lie and say that it will be daily but it will be more consistently put out then it has been being put out in the recent past. Now that I am not coaching I really need to finish writing about each of the players that have been a part of the program at Florida Southern. There are also other people and things that interest me daily and I will spout about them as well.

I was sending out an email earlier this week on my personal account and I realized that my signature still said: Trey Heath, Head Men’s Tennis Coach, Florida Southern College, GO MOCS! Oops, I should probably change that. It then dawned on me that all my social media platforms also had that I was a coach in the college realm. It is funny what brings back memories or how something so trivial can bring on a positive or negative emotional response. Changing careers is something I was excited about for a long time and since I have been working with Michelle I have had a blast watching her do her job and learning the industry from her perspective. Well, I changed my employment but I even caught flack for that. I listed myself as the back-office assistant. I am not a realtor and I do work in the background so I thought it fit perfectly. At some point, I will be a realtor and I will put that as my title. I am also a husband, a dad, a wanna be athlete, an entrepreneur, and probably some other things to some people but since I listed myself as an assistant I had people questioning my motives. No motives, just me being me and realizing I am not the boss at this point. It is awesome not having to make those tough calls after 12 years of making them day in and day out.

There will be a time that I make those decisions but it is kind of fun having a little vacation while in the workplace. Michelle is teaching me her methods and getting to know the clientele is fun and hard at the same time. It is eerily like recruiting and coaching. The best part of the change has been the time I have gotten to spend with my wife and daughter. We have battled through some interesting times these past couple of months but really haven’t missed a beat. Change doesn’t always happen when you want but it always happens when it needs to. As a family, this was a change that we needed, the ironic thing is we didn’t know it when I made my decision to the family in January. Coaching gave me so much and the two institutions, Webber International and Florida Southern, that gave me a home for so many years will always have a place in my heart that will live on for a long time. Heck, I still have green polos and red and grey polos that I wear all the time.

The next time I write it will be about a former player but tonight I just wanted to say hello. Go make tomorrow great and we will chat again soon.
