Venice Update

The Venice girls lost their first match of the season Friday to a team that they had no business losing to based on seasonal records and prior performance. They had been 15 – 0, number one in their classification in the State and 43^rd in some mythical national pole. We lost again Saturday in the consolation finals. The key now is can we the coaches and the team learn form this and get the ball rolling again toward our ultimate goal. I think we can, but it will take a total team effort. I know I have to really look closely at what we have done from a physical perspective and what we need to do and make sure that fist within the context of a schedule very heavy on matches the next several weeks. I have always maintained that you learn more from loses than you from wins. This is what makes coaching challenging and fun. It is a constant challenge and a learning opportunity regardless of the level of sport.
