With 4 games in row now being cancelled, we gave our players a couple of mental health days off from practice. When I walked into the gym this morning, I saw 3 players in full sweat putting in work. Our women continue to inspire me with their strength to keep pushing forward.
First win as Head Coach last night… wow! Our team showed a ton of GRIT. The gym we played in was loudddddd but we stayed focused, composed and together. Wouldn’t want to go to battle with any other group💙

First GAME DAY as a coach & I still got that early morning excited/nervous feeling when I woke up... can’t tell you how much I’ve missed that feeling!!!

Selfless with their time & fully committed to furthering our goals as a program. Squad was back together today and dang did it feel good! (Missed a couple members of our tribe, but there in spirit!) 😍👇🏼
Find a HC that passes tasks you will need to know how to do in a future HC role. A HC that allows you to fail and still lets you try again. A HC you develop a friendship with where they truly care about your well-being outside the office. A HC that wants to see you successful!
Tonight’s team meeting FIRED me up! Cannot wait for the journey ahead with this crew & I feel so lucky to be along for the ride with

Offensively and defensively compete. And know that you're not just competing for yourself you're competing for all your teammates. You owe it to each other to do these things every day." —
