I thought last spring how unconnected or de-connected I can become with my team, with others and my family.
Whether it is a mission statement, or a charge this is what I have given to our team for this year.
We may not have the most of (fill in the blank), but we can make up for it in other ways. I need something to hold myself accountable. I want something to hold our team accountable.
For evaluating how our team is playing I love statistics and trends. I love to analyze numbers of how we are playing, shooting, rebounding, defending, etc. What I don’t like doing is monitoring how much a player is growing and how a team is growing emotionally. Each one is different and takes its own time table.
We may not reach of these goals. We will strive to hit them between now and the last game of the season. The goals we want to achieve on the court and in games are tangible and are for all to see. Only our team can see these goals.
It may take every day single day of our season and up to the last second. That will be our commitment for our team.
