We're looking to try and put the first half behind us. There were highs and lows and a little bit of a roller coaster ride early on. We want to take lessons from that experience and set goals for the future. But really we try to focus on - not to be cliche - a shift-to-shift, period-to-period, game-top-game basis and not worry too much about what's happened or what's in front of us. I think the future will take care of itself if we just work hard every day.

Volatility will continue and we are going to see higher highs and lower lows.

We played well in the first half and got out to a 7-2 lead and looked like we had the opportunity to run away with it. Then (we) came out at the start of the second half and proceeded to make mistake after mistake after mistake which wasn't very encouraging. I really think from our performance perspective we have to get away from these sort of highs and lows of concentration and focus and get back to maintaining a high focus right through all four quarters.

With a championship meet, you want to eliminate the highs and lows, and just have a strong, steady approach for six sessions. That's how you win a championship or have successful championships.

We want to be able to go the whole distance and be able to go out there and put up something to be proud of.
