Well, the season is almost here! In preparation, we have been training very hard in the weight room with early morning workouts and heavy weight lifting. The daily practices have been intense and full of energy. Although we are still trying to learn several offenses and defenses, the team is working very hard to improve in one area or another each day in practice. Amidst our hard work, Coach Green keeps it light by breaking up each practice with someone telling the joke of the day. Below is my joke from last week!
Why did the teddy bear reject dinner? …hmmm….ponder that as you read my blog!
I am so excited for this upcoming season! I love my teammates and coaches so much! Each of the girls and coaches bring something unique and special to the team that is turning us into one unit. One of the many things I appreciate about my teammates is that they know how to laugh and have fun (we laughed a lot at my joke…don’t you wish you knew the answer??). Even in the midst of a hard and challenging practice, the girls stay positive and try to build each other up from trials and frustrations. I pray this team seeks to become selfless in their decisions on and off the court and understands that the focus needs to be on Christ alone and enhancing His kingdom even in the moments when we do not understand. This is so much easier said than done especially in the midst of thousands of burpees over and over or running 22’s until our legs fall off, but I pray this team is different in the sense that no matter how tired or frustrated we get in the moment that we will grow in maturity and seek to fight through pain, understanding that is for our benefit to achieve the goals we have set for this team. Together we will become a bigger and better team. We are getting work done in the weight room and in practice; let’s stay consistent and grow into a championship team!
Okay, okay, here's what you've really been waiting for…so why did the teddy bear reject dinner? Because he was stuffed!
Go Flames!
