My shot was falling so I just kept doing what was working for the team. Before the game (coach) said this is my game.

Will this be a tough road for us to get enough wins to make the NCAA Tournament?. Yes, it will, but I really like the way we are playing right now. We've told the seven freshmen, this is why you play. For the chance to do something special in your tournament. We have a second chance and I intend on making the most of it.
anxious learn players senior seniors success talent teach tried work year
This senior year is not what any of us wanted, of course. You have to take what you get, and work with what you have sometimes. The seniors have tried to teach the young players and learn from each other as well. I am anxious to see them come into their own and show the talent and success that we've had glimpses of this year. It is going to happen.
bad trouble
I don't think we're having an off year, I think we've just had some off games. We've had a lot of trouble with zones. Sometimes we get disconnected and go off on our own tangents and take bad shots.
basketball example experience follows given great handling hard job knowledge leader pressure sharing situation strengths words work
Given the situation Tiffany was put into this year, she's done a great job handling the pressure of sharing her knowledge and experience with the freshmen. One of Tiffany's strengths is that she follows up her words with the way she plays; she's a great leader by example and we all see from Tiffany that hard work really does lead to being a great basketball player.

But, some of the freshmen have come over to my house and I've cooked dinner for them.

This summer, we really did not discuss team goal-setting officially. We haven't talked about it yet as a group with the coaches, especially since two of my teammates (Erika and Daria) were not here with us.
