These players have worked hard to make this season successful and continue to work hard. They don't like to lose and now they have tasted victory. We just need to continue to work hard each and every day whether it be in practice or in our next match.
came challenged change communication fell game girls match might missed momentum needed players serves serving smart strong three trading turn whatsoever
We came out in game one a little sluggish, trading off serves with New Washington. We missed too many serves tonight. I think it might be the most serves missed this season. In game two, things were much the same ... (and) game three we pretty much fell flat. There was no communication whatsoever on the court. Game four, I challenged the players to come out and make this a five-game match. I told the girls that we needed to move, communicate, and make smart plays. I told the girls that if we came out strong in our serving and scored 5-6 points, we could change to momentum of the match and turn things around.
business care far focus game goal implement learn matches peaked players reminding rest season step towards work year
There are things we need to work on and we have the rest of the season to work on these areas. Our focus is towards sectionals. If we learn something from each game that we play, we have accomplished something and we just need to implement that into our every day play. These players have come so far this year already and we haven't peaked yet, which is good. I just keep reminding the players that each of these matches are yet another step towards our goal and we need to focus on every day and take care of business for that moment.
