Many have to hit rock bottom before they want to make any changes. We show them they're not alone, and we offer them the chance to realize they can make those changes.
We need to play well this week. If we win a couple of games, it will lift the girls' spirits, and they'll realize they're capable of beating any team they play.
We can't wait until the bottom half of the seventh inning of the second game to realize what we have to do to hit the ball.
It was a big-time confidence booster. There weren't too many people outside this team that thought we could go up there and win that game. It helped us realize what we were capable of doing.
The girls need to listen, and they need to put the ball in play. When they shorten their bats to put the ball in play, they do well. At times, it takes them a long time to realize that's what they need to do.
They are real proud of that. I didn't realize that they did it, but they let me know. I always preach defense and it helps get easy baskets.
