When I learned my first book was in the Baseball Hall of Fame, reference librarian Cassidy Lent (above) was kind enough to retrieve it for me when I visited.

In the other photo, shot by David DeNoma, you can see me (OK, my back) during a timeout ignoring the clipboard Huggins had broken in the foreground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebaf385397a79461358d827/1589472374256-4933134HX6D3UKNUO819/zNk2fGu4SUa9pjW422S5Cw.jpg Mike Bass Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebaf385397a79461358d827/1591894398805-2P6ZRP7T4RREM4Z67ZFN/fullsizeoutput_139d.jpg Mike Bass Coaching Here I am (left) with catcher-actor-broadcaster Bob Uecker while on one of my all-time favorite assignments.

Reach out for a free session, and we can discuss what has you feeling stressed or stuck and how I can help. You don’t have to be a pro golfer with the yips, a quarterback with happy feet or a goalie with pregame jitters to build your confidence with a coach. The right game plan can help you stay sane when your team throws a screen on third-and-20, your kid whiffs on another high pitch or your spouse doesn’t understand the time commitment. Email me at mikebass3838@gmail.com, and we can arrange a 45-minute phone call to explore what coaching can do for you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Who says only men watch sports? A record 47 percent of NFL fans are female, the league said in March 2020: ‘There are now 88 million female fans of the NFL. More females watched Super Bowl LIV than the Grammys, Oscars, and Emmys – combined.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebaf385397a79461358d827/1592851533605-NV2Z1EXHCGUBC8E84KG2/F3D64159-EFD6-4019-81E2-AEFE3B98E7C9.jpg Mike Bass Coaching: Sports Widow(er)s https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebaf385397a79461358d827/1592856705891-15RCKWD6XWWFOK9FNKD5/Sports+Widow%28er%29+senior+couple+website.jpg Mike Bass Coaching: Sports Widow(er)s What would happen if you decided not to watch the game with the fan?

Vikings fans as a whole are fiercely loyal, but can’t just enjoy a consistently winning team. They are part-Eeyore, part-Chicken Little, bracing for disappointment, easily citing an 0-4 Super Bowl record in the 1970s and an 0-6 mark in conference title games since then. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebaf385397a79461358d827/1589579078138-6AEE94JDYKRYA609FQQ4/LF12w8wIQbqzo3ELG7isIw.jpg Mike Bass Coaching: Sports Fans Bears fans long for their first Super Bowl title since the legendary 1985 team, and a 12-4 record in 2018 raised expectations for 2019. When the Bears stumbled to a 3-5 start, it didn’t take long for fans and store owners to show their frustration. I found this flyer particularly amusing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebaf385397a79461358d827/1592679973665-V22U1NXZKOY94I8FH0UV/Sports+Fans+fighting+website+Adobe.jpeg Mike Bass Coaching: Sports Fans We cheer, we boo, we let loose, we escape.
