Today, we faced off against a quality Braddock Road squad, but we came out strong and played aggressively on both ends of the field. Each player stepped in various positions throughout the game and played well, even if it was unfamiliar to them. It is important for the players to learn many different positions, so that was an encouraging sign. One aspect that we will need to work on is making meaningful decisions with the ball using individual skill and/or working with our teammates. However, this is a season-long goal, which will develop over time. Developmentally, most players are still mastering the ball, and an even smaller percentage are beginning to develop an understanding of how their play impacts their teammates. Therefore, I encourage to the kids to not get disappointed with losses or overly confident with wins from week to week; it is all about each individual improving both their skills and decision-making through practices and learning from mistakes. As I told the players today, I only got better and learned how to handle different situations by not feeling scared to make mistakes so I could learn how to improve the next time. See everyone tomorrow!
