Good stuff

Coach Pat Summitt was as good of a coach (and leader) as we’ve ever seen in any sport. Her standards apply to every area of life and are equally impactful in business!

@JayPinceSMG Sorry to see Andrew leaving he always had his teams ready to play. Always a battle with him coaching in the sideline.

Need to fix a few more things to really start competing but all signs in the second half show we are capable of it.

[Scott Blake @bballcoachblake]

After a 1st half where we did nothing right and trailed 33-5. I was proud of the girls effort and execution in the second half. We didn’t let the lead get any larger and cut the lead to 17 in the third quarter.

Eventually, losing 52-24 to a good Goffstown team lead by Maggie Sasso a 1st or 2nd team all star. Spaulding was lead by Meagan Uraskevich 8 points, Gabby Couture and Damiya Perkins 5 points a piece.

[Scott Blake @bballcoachblake]

Girls battled but just too many turnovers and being unable to clear the boards lead to the 64-20 defeat. Spaulding was lead by senior Gabby Couture with 8 points and senior Kate McCawley with 5 points. Back to work tomorrow to fix some things and to keep working to get better.

[Scott Blake @bballcoachblake]

Tough opening night for Spaulding Girls Basketball. Windham used their length and height to jump out to a 35-9 lead at halftime. Using a full court press that Spaulding struggled breaking and their height to get offensive rebounds.

NEGATIVE BODY LANGUAGE LETS

• Your opponents know they have the upper hand
• Your teammates know your selfish
• Recruiters know you can't handle adversity
• Random spectators form opinions about you

Nothing good comes from negative BL.

“The game doesn't know who you are. The game doesn't know who is supposed to win. All the game asks is to show up every day, give 100%, and respect yourself and others. You must love the game on good days and bad days.”

[The Coaches' Journal @TheCoachJournal]

Crying he said, “Mom, I got cut.”

Pat Summitt's son was heartbroken, she was upset, but…

She didn't blame the coach. She didn't complain to the admin. She said, "Son, you didn't work hard enough. I guarantee if you wear out both of those basketballs, you'll make the team."
