On a happier note, this past weekend the girls i coach won their tournament again!!! They needed that considering the tournament before they got 5th place. They were pretty bummed about it, but they played a lot of great teams, probably some of the best they will meet this year.
This weekend they played so well!! They went undefeated! They are getting so much better and they are starting to actually listen to me and eachother. I keep stressing the importance of teamwork and communication. No matter how bad you are playing or no matter how much you aren't connecting with your setter etc. you can always control how much you communicate and how much you work as a team. They are starting to understand that! Regardless they won and they were sooo happy!!!
Despite the fact that some of the refs do not know the rules and i had to confront them after the game, nicely of course, and ask them what the rules were for the two bad calls they made. They didn't know of course and they wouldn't answer me, so I just said, "ok," and walked away.
My girls got a lot of compliments this weekend to, I may have gotten a few too. It's so rewarding to get compliments on your team and how I coach. I also think it's so rewarding to see the girls grasp what i teach them at practice and apply it in a game situation. It's a great feeling to watch your girls succeed and see all theirs and your work pay off! These girls are the best//there is never a dull moment//they crack me up!
champions are not born. THEY ARE MADE!
