Student-athletes attend school to learn. Learn to organize and to invest your time, to study, retain information that you have to know, and how to think better - conventionally and unconventionally - and to present your thoughts.
Tests are one metric that provide feedback on both your process and the teacher.
Games are like that, too. Teams and individuals find out what worked, what didn't, and what improvements are needed.
Former Celtics Assistant Kevin Eastman recommended four 'changes' when feedback is available:
- Do it better.
- Do it harder.
- Change personnel.
- "$*%& it ain't working."
Maintain aggressiveness every point. "Play harder for longer." Some players have a knack for superior focus.
Block better. Read it, get to the block better, press the block, and stiffen the block. Some of the blocks were soft, some late. There could be other adjustments coming.
Gia told Sadie Jaggers years ago, "Focus on making a good pass not a perfect one." The passing will improve. Sadie Smith put on a lot of steps yesterday.
Improve hitting decisions. Vision. Decision. Execution. Hitting decisions improved during the match.
A lot of good things happened. "Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater." A lot of players played as though their 'careers' depended on it.
MVB doesn't traffic in excuses. Get back on the horse.
Lagniappe. A coach's job is to tell you what you need to hear when you need to hear it. That may be "opposite the moment."
This is so freaking good
