Chumps to Champs

As soon as I laid my eyes upon my new team I knew that they were going to need a tremendous amount of work. Most of the team was in seventh grade, I was one of the three eighth graders.

I was confident and believed in myself enough that they began to look at me as an authority figure, and we had a successful

    However, I began to see the game as more than just a win or a loss. Losing gave the team the opportunity to closely look at what we did well, and what we needed to improve on.
