We had a exciting start to the beginning of something great! We held our first tryouts for Team Genesis on this past Saturday and Sunday. We were blessed with the turnout that we had and looking forward to more to come who could not make it. We worked with the girls on some skill development that focused on a variety of things (ball manipulation, shooting footwork, passing, etc). Our recap of the leadership aspect was two concepts to live by "Leave it better than you found it" and "Reminders need to be specific, often, and before something happens." We love this part because it is more than just basketball to us.
"We are very thankful for the parents and girls who came and spent several hours training with us this past weekend. The girls worked really hard, were attentive, and worked to apply the teaching and skills. I'm still excited for the girls that will be coming who were either playing in the state playoffs or had previous plans. Our roster is starting to take shape with the right girls with the right attitudes and the right work ethic. We can have all of the talent but if the work and attitudes are missing we won't be special."
Team Genesis has been hard at work! We have been working on developing at how to play with off-ball screens and well as ball screens. The girls have been improving on slowing down and reading the screens instead of just blasting through them without a purpose. They have improved with being patient waiting on the ball screen and getting the best angle to set the screen. Their basketball IQ has improved over the couple of practices that we have had. We are excited to see this IQ improve throughout the season.
We have covered the topic of mistake response. Coach Hall showed a video of Caitlyn Clark missing shots in practice and how she was reacting negatively. We talked about how our negative response after our mistakes is selfish and hurts the team. We need to be more aware of others and our mistakes responses and encourage them when we see fit.
"I'm super excited for this season. We have a super sweet group of girls who work hard. I believe we can do some great things."
