If I were the head coach of a 2A Volleyball team about to play it's second playoff game in 2 years what would I say?
First off I would probably say "Great Job Ladies!", but you have only just begun your journey. Everything that has happened up to this point, while great and record-setting, matters not in this world. Everyone is 0-0. Rankings don't matter, past rivalries don't matter, what happened yesterday doesn't matter. Bad practices don't matter, great practices don't matter. 25-10 wins don't matter. Neither do 25-10 losses. However you got here, you are here. It does not matter who is on the other side of the court from us.
The only thing that does matter, is 12 athletes playing as 1 TEAM. The Six that are on that court at any given time, playing as 1. It does not matter what happens outside the gym doors or outside the lines. What matters is everyone knowing what their job is and JUST DOING IT. Not someone else's job, just YOUR job. It is a very simple game when you just do your job. Rotate where you are supposed to Rotate, Dig what you are supposed to Dig, Block what you are supposed to Block, KILL what you are supposed to kill. Everyone knows what they are supposed to do at this point, JUST DO IT. Don't think about it, just let your god-given and coach driven instincts take over and DO IT! Don't let the moment define you, YOU DEFINE THE MOMENT! Let's have fun and go kick some Lady Indian ass! or whatever team that particular 2A Volleyball program might be facing at Abilene High School, Tuesday, November 9th @ 6:30 p.m.
Love all of you guys!
