Trust It

“Trust yourself, trust your training, and trust your teammates.”
-Coach Witherspoon

 In case you don’t know, our winning streak was snapped last night at Kent State in a hard fought game that came down to the last minute of the game. We played extremely hard and stuck together throughout the game, but Kent made a couple more plays than we did. One of the main points that Coach Witherspoon has stressed is that quote above. For those who follow us, they know we are a strong team. However when we lose sight of the things we practice every day, we make the game harder than it should be. Last night’s game was a lesson learn and we will apply Coach’s quote better in our next game.

What’s next for us? We get an opportunity to get out of conference play for a game and play South Dakota State in an ESPN Bracket Buster Game. This will be my first time to South Dakota, as well for many of my teammates, so we’re excited. For those who are worrying about a drop off from us like last year, stop worrying! We’re good; it’s a long season and it has its up and downs. We have big things in line for us and we’ll be ready to give it our best punch.

Until next time, that’s ‘Wats Up’!
