Chelsea's COMMUNICATION Quotation...

"Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people."
-Jim Rohn

...and Chelsea's personal comment on these words:

This quote applies to our team in so many ways. When we communicate effectively in practice, we don't have to put on a show of tring to talk during games, it's just what comes naturally. When we communicate outside of practice, we learn what works, what makes other teammates respond and how efficiently we can come together. Communication is as simple as smiling at your team members in the hallways, or waving if you see them out and about. That's just something that's common courtesy and we should all practice it.

Everyone should reply to this post no later than Monday morning at 730 AM.

Coach's Corner...

...after a disappointing 0-0 tie vs. Allegan. Girls, it's best we forget about today's result ASAP. Actually, let's not forget EVERYTHING: we need to keep avoiding bad habits (kick ball, jumping in, lazy effort on 50/50's, not finishing golden chances, etc.) that showed their ugly faces countless times today. Bounce back Monday! EXPECT to win...and do the things necessary to GET the win!

Coach's Corner...

...after a hard-fought 1-1 tie vs. a quality Zeeland East team. Girls, I meant what I said after the game when I stated that I want you to be proud of today's effort but that we NEED to get more GREEDY at this point and expect wins, no matter the opponent. Zeeland East was ripe for an upset today and we didn't capitalize when we could have. We need to NOT be satisfied with that. Again though, be proud...but WANT MORE! Allegan is next....

Emily's COMMUNICATION Quotation...

Cervantes: Communication Quote
"That which we are capable of feeling, we are capable of saying."

-Emily comments: "I think that this quote can be applied to our team and how we communicate. we need to make sure we communicate through the way we are feeling, but also to not let our emotions overtake our communication. good job tonight ladies!"

Girls, please respond no later than this Friday by 730 AM!

Coach's Corner...

...following today's 4-0 loss to a talented, tough Unity squad. Girls, be proud of the overall composure and resiliency (especially Frannie and Morgan in net) you all showed today against a very good team but NEVER be satisfied with the result. We can still improve in so many areas: possession, disciplined with 1 v. 1 defense, COMMUNICATION, etc. The journey continues on Wednesday vs. Zeeland East, another very good team! Be ready.
