This quote was given to us after our night practice on Tuesday by Molly Costello, a quote that everyone on the team can relate to. This quote could not be more perfect after a practice that all of us were already tired for beforehand and were exhausted when the practice finished. This quote struck me a lot because I have always lived by the motto of passion and heart will give you the win. There has been plenty of times last season that will came into play to win like playing Parkside and NKU in the tournament, but we all fell short in the conference championship. Our team is blessed with 25 talented players from all over the St. Louis and Quincy areas, but what make us unique and special is the heart that every player has when they show up to play.
Training indoors and playing futsol is a great example of the will and competitiveness we all have because we do everything possible to get a win or finish the cross-fit. Seeing the girls push themselves makes me want to do better more and I want to win for them. It was tough on everyone losing the championship game in PKS, but we came together as one and realized that we have another opportunity to get there, but first we have to come together in the off-season.
I am so excited for our team to start playing again because I know the chemistry we are forming now will be unstoppable by fall and no team is going to step in our way. We all have the talent, but great players have the will and we were all born to be great. Our team is reaching for the next level to be champions and to be a threat nationally. I cannot wait to experience this journey with all these girls.
