“This wasn’t supposed to be your year”
Getting to the Final 4 is hard.

But getting back here after losing 52ppg, NPOY, another 1st team AA + record breaking shooters is really something.

So proud of this young team!
Go Violets! 🪻

I love that this is getting attention @sarahkgraves.

“I don’t know if there’s data to prove it,” Graves said, “but when you push that energy towards someone else, it somehow circulates back to you.”

🔄 Reciprocal Energy is a REAL thing, especially in the TEAM setting. And it’s the responsibly of everyone involved.
