All the hard work, sacrifices and dedication has "played" off! We are off to state next Wednesday:) Most people, unless they are or have been a head coach have no clue what it takes to coach a team to success. The early mornings, late nights, missing out on fun things and spending your entire day on Saturdays at a tournament. MAN is it worth it!!!!!!!!!!!! The "pay off" is amazing. To watch the kids grow, improve and win is the best feeling in the world!
I have been laying in bed for the past two hours, thinking, praying and trying to fall asleep! At about 4:30 I finally gave up and decided to get a jump on the paperwork that is inevitable. I finished a few of the things that need to be done by 9 today, I will just need to get them approved and sent.
I am so proud and excited for this group of girls to experience State VB! They are a wonderful group and I have truly enjoyed coaching them this year.
The best part of this season has been coaching with my friends who I respect more than words can state. Bridget Stowers and Chris Hahn are awesome people and amazing coaches. Between Stower's defensive knowledge and Hahn's motivational drive this team was destined for state.
Now: the work begins again. We start again today at 3:30 with practice and have three practices to prepare for Stanley. Bridget and I watched them last year at the state tournament so we have some basic knowledge of the team but are hoping to gain more today.
GO SQUIRRELS!!
