#SIDChat Transcript for January 26

It's always great to take a break and chat with friends, and that's what this week's #SIDChat was.

A number of topics centered around what stresses SIDs out and how to handle the stress, but a debate arose about where the best BBQ can be found.

Better late than never: My goals for 2011

Yes, this blog post is over three weeks late, but I've been busy dealing with snow, work, kids, school, life and yada, yada, yada. Of course, as a sports information director, life is always busy.

But I wanted to get my goals for the new year written down and posted here to help me 'keep my on the prize' as the old saying goes.

I've got two different sets of goals: a list for my personal/family life and another for my professional world. This is in large part thanks to a question poised to SIDs by Chris Syme on LinkedIn.

Another week of lively discussion on #SIDChat has come and gone.

Spent time talking about a wide array of topics such as dealing with your workload during holidays and/or snow days, what a host school should provide to visiting SIDs, and topics we would like to see discussed at CoSIDA this summer.

The new year saw the return of #SIDChat, and a large crowd made it a great one.

We had 39 different people to log in at some point during the chat and up to 25 on at one time.

Topics discussed included goals for the new year, what changes to the profession might come in 2011 and much, much more.
