I wanted to apologize for missing practices this week. I just wanted to explain to you a little bit about why so that you understand that I'm not just skipping out on you girls! Most of you know that I have been traveling for interviews often this winter,
but this week has been a different reason-<br>
<br>
As some of you have heard, my family is having a very tough time at the moment. My parents took a very big blow on Sunday and my whole family is feeling the repercussions. Because of this, I am spending a lot of time in Columbus this week. Between all the
traveling to Columbus and back every night and working all day, plus extra hours to make up for time I spent with my family Monday, I am finding I barely have time to get things done and sleep a few hours a night. So, I decided I need to focus on myself and
my family this week. I am sorry I am missing so much of these important winter conditioning practices, but I hope you guys are working hard in my absence!
<br>
<br>
I hope you all understand why I am putting my family first and know that we (the coaches) would encourage you to do the same if needed.<br>
<br>
I am still available my e-mail, so let me know if you have any concerns anything!<br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
Ellen<br>
