The season has barely started and we have hit some major bumps in the road. We lost Cassie Cooper to a knee injury on Friday and had one practice to adjust. I feel awful for Cassie. It was her turn to see what she could do and she was more than ready to play.
We will have to work our way through the early part of this season against some very strong opponents. The competition is above us now, and youngsters who should be watching will have to play. Amidst the setbacks, there are enormous opportunities for growth. Hopefully, we rise to the occasion.
There is nothing to do but lace up our sneakers and hit the hardwood. This is going to take time.

Everyone’s heart has to ache a little bit when a player like Cassie goes down with a serious injury. And it’s never an easy road, but in some parts of the world, when they fix broken objects they repair the damage by filling the cracks with gold and other precious metals. You see, they believe that when something has suffered damage and has a history it becomes more magnificent.
ReplyDeleteAs for the ups and downs of the early season, my grandfather always said, “Don’t ask for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.” And the only way to do that is through hard work! Go Big Green!
Thanks for your kind words. Such true words about those damaged things becoming stronger and more precious.
ReplyDeleteThese players have plenty of talent and fight in them and I'm looking forward to seeing what they will achieve on the court!
