There’s a cliche you probably heard at a high school graduation ceremony on at least one occasion: “If you do what you love, you’ll never work another day in your life.”
As anyone who has done what they loved for a living can attest, this is bullshit. No matter how much you love your job, it is an inescapable reality that there are times when it is just ... a job. Maybe not all the time, but every job has its drawbacks.
No perfect cliche exists for the situation that faces Brian Schmetzer as he gets ready to embark on his first full season as a head coach, but the problem is similar.
