He is excited and knows that he will be a net success in life-- will never forget what he has learned in Tennis--we will always remember Portland and the Davis Cup. Adventures of a life time with the Wayne Bryan Family.

Aug. 19th: Great Day at Region IV

Great Workshops and you know how Coach H likes to role play-- I was in my element today. All the Health and Physical Educational Teachers in the District met and learned using many learning styles.

Middle School Folks are serious about tennis---- those three courts at North Forest Middle School will be used to teach skills and motivate students to play tennis on the high school level. This is going to be a resource that we have not had before---giving them some of my used balls that Coach Bobby gave us---we want to spread tennis to all the elem. and middle schools in the district.

Now, I am waiting for our courts to be redone-- hopefully soon.

I will be on campus Friday-- teacher work day-- welcome to come up and practice when it is cool---call me on cell and I will set you up with balls and H2O.

Coach Hrncir

PS: Tomorrow is CPR training

Aug. 17th, 2009: First Day: Teacher In Service!

Great Day-- Everyone met together at North Forest Middle School ( Old North Forest High) and the best program in quit a few years. Loved the song--The Man in the Mirror-- Dr. Adrian Johnson used this in asking us to view ourselves and what we need to do to be more successful.

We had some workshops and by 3:00-- I was on the track--doing 3 miles--- I have gained some weight and have to lose it to keep up with my tennis players. Also, re painted our faded tennis rackets on our wall. There is so much to do and so little time. ( When we joined schools last year--we painted our wall a lite type of Vegas gold color to mask the Smiley slogans and names--we wanted our Forest Brook kids to blend in and feel special on our courts)

More workshops tomorrow and Wed. I go to Region IV for the day with my dept. ( closer to my house)

UP AND COMING POSITIVE CHANGES AT NORTH FOREST HIGH SCHOOL--- WORKING TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE. BE READY FOR A GRAND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND A SUPER FALL TENNIS SEASON.

BOB & MIKE WON FIRST PLACE IN L.A. TOURNAMENT!

Aug. 15th: Sat. Night

Went by NFHS Friday to visit with friends and unload donated used tennis balls from Bobby , a tennis pro who cares about our program.

Got to hug JaMarcus and Ms. Williamson took me out for lunch---baked potatoes with all the trimming. Looking forward to next week-- new expectations--new students--new friendships. This is the beginning for my 39th year and there is always excitement and thrills.

Hopefully, we can get all the paper work for UIL so that we can practice ASAP.

You can always get required paper work from athletics----- I will be in workshops most of the week-- Wed. I travel to Region IV for the day.

Looking forward to our tennis seasons, team tennis and individual tennis.

Aug. 6th, 2009: Death of my father in law: Otto Hrncir

My father in law of nearly 39 years passed on to his final reward on August 5th early in the morning. My Dad died over 25 years ago and Otto filled a void that was left when my Dad died at an early age--61,

Otto has been in nursing home in Angleton since he fell and fractured ribs and was in ICU for eleven days. Honey, his wife of 67 years always spent the day with him-( in a nursing home)- getting him to eat-- trying to get him strong enough to come home. This was never to be a reality.

The rosary is at Baker's funeral home in West Columbia Texas--7:00p.m this Friday. The funeral will be at St. John's Church Sat. Morning at 10:00. He will be buried in Rosenburg at 12:30 p.m. on Sat.

Many relatives are coming and our son , Dylan, in Germany in flying 20 hours each way--he has to be back Monday for a conference. Youngest son, Dietrich, will be flying in tonight from Virginia--blessed to have daughter, Dawn, to pick him up at the airport. Blessed to have a strong family who is pulling together to honor Otto Hrncir.

Please remember us in your prayers at this time.
