w acuity Teaching, Coaching and No Free Time Over the years many teachers who have special talents and interesting backgrounds have gone unrecognized by the student body. A large part of these were the teachers who took part in more than just their average classes. We ' re talking about teachers who also coached in sports. A lot of time and work had to be put into one of these dual teaching and coaching schedules. Time had become more precious due to their involve- ment, leaving less free time, which might have been spent with their fam- ilies. One of the biggest disadvantages of being involved with sports and regular classes is that there is less free time at home. Most of my time is spent prepar- ingfor classes and games, said Varsity Softball Coach Carol Sarkissian. Along with Softball, Sarkissian was also in- volved with Drill Team, racquet sports.

For example, teachers who had skills that made them a good coach, also used the same techniques One of the biggest disadvan- tages of being involved with sports and regular classes is that there is less free time at home. — Coach Sarkissian to become successful teachers. But most teachers admitted that getting to know students in and out of class was the biggest advantage. It ' s interesting to see the difference of a student in and out of class. In class they could be a quiet, studious student, but then on the field the same person can be obnoxious and outgoing, said Sarkissian. Unfortunately, these active teachers could only devote a certain amount of time to each activity. Many teachers would have loved the opportunity to concentrate on either their classes or sports. This way more time could be used to prepare for lessons or games. But because of the circumstances, their time was divided between these two. Sometimes planning for a lesson is tough when there is a game the night before, said Coach Larry Holmes, who also taught four senior seminar classes and one comp 2 class, but you just have to make the effort and get it done.
