2-1 Loss to Hudsonville

Checking in again, ladies!

PLEASE keep your heads up regarding where we're at currently as a team. A tough loss like last night (after a loss the previous night) can tend to take the wind out of a team's sails a bit, but we cannot let that happen. As I mentioned in our final huddle last night after the game, an overall positive step in the right direction WAS made in our game…despite the final score. WE WILL KEEP GETTING BETTER! Just stay the course…and get better in practice…starting today.

See you all soon, girls!

2-0 Loss to Byron Center

Hey, girls.

I hope we're all ready to bounce back yet again today with another match--especially after a tough loss last night in which I really thought we played mostly toe-to-toe with a pretty good team! As I mentioned in the final huddle last night, we need to all come up with some possible solutions to get us out of this early bit of a rut we're in. We'll chat today and hopefully enact the solutions on the field!

Keep your collective heads up, please! Remember, it's early…and we'll continue to improve with hard work and a positive team attitude.

Welcome back!

Hi, everyone! I really hope you were able to enjoy a fun, rejuvenating break!

At this point, it's about that time to get back to work inside the classroom and out, right??!

First, it'd be great if you all took a bit of time to review our team "core values" as well as our set of team goals to the right when you can…just as a bit of a healthy reminder. In addition, our past "team theme" has been COMMUNICATION and currently is TEAM UNIFICATION. We'll vote on the latter regarding an alternate captain tomorrow (Monday) at the conclusion of outdoor practice. In other words, you'll decide who has been doing the most sincere job of getting all of us individuals to gel as a team early on here in the season!

Next, take a look at the schedule for the week below:

**Monday…3-5 practice…dress warmly…team dinner at my house at 630 PM.

**Tuesday…game at Hudsonville (530 PM)…bus leaves at 430 PM….more details later.

**Wednesday…game at Byron Center (5 PM)…bus leaves at 4 PM…more details later.

**Thursday…3-5 practice.

**Friday…3-5 practice.

Note: our team theme this coming week is PHYSICAL TOUGHNESS/AGGRESSION…something I think we'd all agree that, based on much of our last performance vs. Middleville, we need more of from here on out in order to help us reach our goals! More details to come...

Take care, all, and very much looking forward to seeing you all again and getting back to work.
