Last week I heard a coach talk about going 0 and 10 for the season. Winless. Not one notch in the win column. And I loved it. Because this coach has it goin' on. He gets it.
He's the coach of a young girl's team. And while this team has scored its first victory, his point remains, they may not win another game the rest of the year. And I think it's great. It's as it should be.
See all of these kids are playing up at least one grade and some of them are playing up two. And they are having to work really hard just to keep up. They are a talented bunch, for sure, good athletes and pretty good basketball skills, but they are too small and not quick enough to really be effective. But the coach's point is that if they can work hard and do their stuff on this level, even though it won't work all the time, when they get against kids their own age they will do well.
