West Central Area Scrimmage:
I was very pleased with the over-all effort that was put out by all of the players. . . Biggest concern: Are we going to make the commitment to DEFENSE and to REBOUNDING!!!!

Put the individual letters that I wrote to you somewhere where you can see them. Keep them until you feel you have accomplished that goal.

I went to the high school play this past weekend - - - BRAVO!!! (Way to go Lexie and Kendra) I was soooooo proud of the effort that these actresses, actors, stage hands, etc. . . put forth.

As I was watching, I thought about “Our Team”. I think we can gain a lot of perspective from looking at a play and how it is judged.

Plays are based on performance. There are no scoreboards. . .it is a group of individuals working hard, coming together and trying to put forth a good show. The success is in the eye of the beholder. . .how much enjoyment was had our how moved were you by the performance.

I want “Our Team” to go into each game and consider it as a theatrical performance, much like a play.

Go out onto our “stage” and do your best to give your best show. Enjoy the experience, learn from your mistakes and be proud that you are willing to challenge yourself in such a way.

Our rehearsals are our practices. . . our “dress rehearsals” are our games. . . our final shows, the times where we need to be at our best, is tournament time!!!!

The next four months we will have numerous rehearsals. . . .we will have 26 full-dress rehearsals and finally, come the end of February, we will hopefully be able to give our best performance when it is SHOW TIME!

--------------------

What lies between where we are and where we want to be is our DETERMINATION.
