I've been around long enough to know that if you beat them 8-0, its extremely difficult to get the team to be focused the next night. And given the last couple of weeks ...
I was probably pretty frustrating to work with, because if I ever did anything wrong, I would just start crying. And it wouldn't be because I was hurt or anything like that, or because I didn't want to be there, I love gymnastics, but it was because I was such a perfectionist that anything I did wrong, you know, it just tore me up, and Steve dealt with that really well.
Marin is one of those silent leaders who lead just through sheer work ethic and by example.
Gymnastics has helped me so much, how to be dedicated to something, how to work hard to acheive your goals, also to be organized, and how to try and balance my life out. I think it's helped me in school too,because it's kept me organized and I'm always striving for a goal.
It was a very similar situation. It was players that were unhappy and causing problems (in 2002). As a coach, you try to carry them as long as you can. There comes a point where you are no longer responsible to carry everyone.
I take a totally different approach to a lot of things now, school and my social life come before gym in a lot of ways, although I know that I still need to keep in shape, and stay healthy enough so that I can keep competing, and keep doing the shows, but it's not my whole life right now.
For ourselves, we need to play great hockey and sweep this weekend.
They get to miss a day of school for the trip. They are very excited about that. It should be a fun weekend and we really wanted to reward the boys for all of the hard work they have done.
If you're going to break down defensively, boy your keeper better be there and she was.
Ten years ago people were asking me to do just about anything and everything. It's one thing to get offered a job but it's another to be able to actually do the job. I guess that's kind of what my thinking is. It'd be great to get offered something, but I want to be sure that I'm able to do it and do it well.
In some ways, it feels like it was yesterday. And then other times, it feels like it was a completely different lifetime and I have to really think to know that I actually competed there and all of that really happened.
I already do what I love doing, so it's more progressing toward getting more involved in the things that I'm already involved in. Maybe I might branch out into other areas but I don't know that there's going to be this sudden change in what I'm going to do because a lot of it I already am fortunate enough to get to do.
We do have depth. We need team chemistry and discipline and tonight it went in. I attribute that to chemistry.
We really tried to find where we had some duplication of services. It was one of our lesser-used facilities.
