Everything Can Be Solved With a Drink

I absolutely need to write this as it’s fresh in my mind. So we all went out earlier this evening in the Cambridge area and ended up at a pretty fancy bar in Back Bay. As all of us are sitting at a table talking and drinking some beers, whom do I see but an athlete from one of my groups! His jaw dropped, and I swear that brick in his stomach dropped at about a million miles an hour. I saw the excuses run through his mind for being out and about, but I bought him a drink instead. This just seemed like the right thing to do. He obviously didn’t go out to feel uncomfortable, so I did what I could to make him feel comfortable.  Obviously a bit of the onus is on him to feel comfortable around a coach, but I really couldn’t imagine that being too hard after I bought him a drink. It was pretty funny and all of us interns were having a blast laughing at the whole situation and after the drink he was starting to loosen up a bit too. I highly encourage everyone to run into coworkers and friends while out and about; you won’t regret it.
