Like KevinF I started having palpitations when I read the first post. In NH even on the sunny days we do have, the afternoons are tough with regards to flat light. Though I don't use the fan part of the turbo fan (POS), the goggles themselves work great even over my glasses.
Coaching early season has always been tough for me because of sensory deprivation; can't see well because of overcast/flat light and snow guns blowing and can't hear well because of the snow guns as well. I'm sure neither have anything to do with me being almost 58 (that just felt like Step 5 ). Added to this is the 20 athletes that are U10s doing what kids that age like to do (drive me bananas), and by lunch time, I could use 30 minutes on a zafu or a very strong drink. I don't have 30 minutes and drinking while coaching is strongly discouraged
Anything I can do to minimize one of the deprivations, helps tremendously.
Thanks mike_m for the post and all those that provided supporting/non supporting views.
