It is hard to believe that we are in our fourth week of practice, because time has gone so fast. In the last four weeks, though, we have all learned so much (and are still learning), and we have all become a lot closer as a team.
At first, our main focus at practice was offense: learning plays, practicing shooting, practicing getting open, etc. Now our focus is on defense. Our four Cornerstones of Defense are: Talk, Work Together, Pressure the Ball, and No Second Chances. Every day we work together to better ourselves, and by doing so, it will help us become a strong defensive team in the HCAC.
It is hard to believe that we start the season Tuesday already against Olivet, but I think we are almost ready for it. We feel like we are all very close as a team. Each day we learn more about each other and each other’s style of play. With so many girls, it has taken us a bit longer to get to know everyone, but now, we are all close friends on the court and off. By working hard each day at practice, continuing to learn, and staying close friends, we will have a very positive season.
