Keys to your success this season: Staying healthy is the first and biggest key. Making sure the athletes are used to the best of their capabilities. This means getting them to reach their individual goals and making sure they understand the team goals at the same time. Making sure they are ready for any changes to their season.

Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share? Like every year, it is great to see the growth of the previous years athletes as they mature and understand that they need to be ready for unforeseen things. They are all a great bunch of athletes that are willing to do whatever it takes to become successful.
