Saber Families: Hope all is well. The season is fast approaching and there are many things that have happened and are about to happen and I want to make sure you are all aware and have equal opportunities to participate. LOOKING BACK: This past weekend our two Fall League teams played and fought hard. Clearly we can see a difference the training, hills, skills, and dedication to workouts is making. Keep up the effort. The varsity league at Brookfield Central was in control of each game with regard to tempo. Although the losses occured we didn't feel as though we were the less talented team. We have been trying to establish small goals with each week. The first week we focused on Confidence and Conditioning. The third week we thought they could work on Communication: verbal and non-verbal. This past week we ran into an opportune time to speak about CHARACTER. We had a lapse of mental strength at times as I said the game is as much a mental exhibition as a physical one. It led me to leak another "C" sound in the form of KARMA. I am a big believer in it! Get used to that SABER NATION. When we are doing the right things, the good things will happen to us: whether big or small. CONSISTENCY: The last couple weeks there was a lack in consistency due to Homecoming and other student activities. I needed to COMMUNICATE stronger with regard to the schedule and expecations. We had low numbers the past two weeks in our strength training and hill workouts. These things are what brings championships in life and on the court. We may have hit a wall, but a winning program knows how to fight (Right Nader?) through it and continue. Establishing a new program and having expectations for success comes with a need to maintain consistency and establish an accountability system not just from coach to player or parent to player, but also player to player. LAST NIGHT was great to see 20+ guys in the WR and Gym. We are just about there! Remember this is open to everyone every night! Come one, come all. RIGHT NOW: This week we have several items coming up: Here is the Google link to the fall schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SM3qRyYBaGrZ9NJLsK5f805w6BRcS7XKo6eBpl_LrFA/edit?usp=sharing Schedule for this week includes a second addition of hills for make-up date from last week. We will continue to put Hills on Wednesday to finish the hills season up. Please look at attached schedule or google drive for updates. Thanks for flexibility. Schedules on behalf of coaches and players have mandated that we be flexible to account for everyone having an opportunity.
Many things to look forward to.
COACHES YES!!! ITS official this time! No jokes please. We found the perfect guys to along with our mission:
PODOLL's POINTS Since this email has been long enough, I just wanted to add a simple thanks to all the Jr. Coaches who have already and are about to put in a ton of hard work with those great group of kids. They go above and beyond developing these kids for years so that they will eventually get an opportunity for something bigger in basketball, life, school, or having greater friendships, greater work ethic, or having greater opportunities beyond what we can imagine. SO, from the HS staff to the Jr. Program, and the REC dept., good luck this year developing skills, character, and sportsmanship! I am excited about the future and can't wait to see these guys go to work in the WIBL and tourneys and at Southwood Glen! Thanks again! Go to our website and check us out!!!! #34days2go
