The Close Ones Hurt!

12/24/2013

A little reflection on last nights close one...

We played hard, we stayed true to ourselves, we respected the game and we were right there in the end. It always hurts the lose the close ones. I have a pit in my stomach that will remain until we get back in the gym on Thursday. Could I have called timeouts at a better time? Could I have made some different substitutions? Could I have drawn up a better play to get us hoops in the 4th quarter? Probably yes to all of those things!

Here is what I do know...the girls have 110% the whole way through, they played with passion and heart, didn't let mistakes and a tough shooting night reflect on how hard they were going to play. We can be proud of those kids for an effort like that win or lose. If we can bottle that heart for each and every game we will look back on this season with an overwhelming sense of pride.

Can't wait to get back at it Thursday, Merry Christmas to all.

GREAT START - HUNGRY FOR MORE

Week 1 was a great week for Simsbury Girls Basketball.  Two very convincing wins with great defense and offensive efficiency on display.  There are some tough games coming up and a lot still to prove this season.  I couldn't be more excited about what we have done, but I am hungry to drive towards our next success.  

Team - here is your homework assignment in absence of practice tonight.  Post a comment to this blog answering the following questions:

1.  What has been your favorite part of the season to this point?

2.  Coach Zullo annoys me when he...(yes you can pick on me)

3.  I like it when Coach Zullo...(yes you have to be nice to me after you pick on me)

4.  What are your individual goals for this season?

5.  What are your team goals for this season?



Have some fun with it - Coach Z

It has been an amazing few months since I have gotten the basketball job at Simsbury.  From the night's out at West Mountain Park to the Saturday morning clinics to the first week of tryouts, everything has been a blast.  We now have a week of facing other teams under our belt with a few scrimmages.  The girls are working hard and are improving in most major statistical categories from last year.  

Games get going this week and I could not be more excited.  Hope to see you all in attendance!

Small group out at the park tonight but they worked hard! Coach Alonzo did a great job helping out. Tonight capped off a week where we had over 40 girls participate from 2nd - 8th grade. I can feel the excitement around Simsbury girls basketball and can't wait to see what is ahead.

Travel tryouts begin next week in Simsbury. Best of luck to all that are looking to make a team. Remember to keep a positive attitude and show your coaches what you do best!
