event of 2024! The athletes brought the energy and it was a great event! Looking forward to hosting them again soon!
The game begins to slow down for student athletes when they let game come to them..
Trying to make a play that isn’t there will lower your efficiency, increase turnovers, break any rhythm, and also hurt your team…which in turn lowers the probability of winning…
Day One, Day WON is now in the books! A great session today. The Energy, Effort & Enthusiasm was there. The Execution will come. But Excellence & Growth is destined for this group!
