What's the Dream?

Every season presents with a spectrum of possibilities.  


If all teams were close to equal and we "played" an large number of seasons, then results might approach a "normal" distribution. Because teams have unequal talent, coach, traditions, and other sports, we would have a "skew" distribution with results shifted. 

The 'dream' or 'story' you want to write as a team is shifting 'wins' far to the right, beyond all others. 

Individual dreams differ. A player might imagine:
  • A) Making the team and having a positive experience
  • B) Contributing 
  • C) Earning a starting role 
  • D) Impacting winning 
  • E) Recognition at the league level
  • F) Recognition at the regional or state level
Moving up happens all the time. But the levels are uneven and require different inputs. Recognition comes with winning, because there is "always a straw that stirs the drink." 


Your dream is your choice. Some players dream of making the team and others dream for more. Aspirations of earning all-league or all-state honors are a cut above, different dreams. The path begins in the same place: today's habits. Goals may vary but today's work seldom does.

MVB has a lot of talented players. Dream big and do the work. 

Lagniappe. Coaches are invested in the players.
