KEYS TO THE GAME
Checking Is A Mindset: “It’s a mindset to check, and a commitment to close,” said Head Coach Ryan Craig on Saturday. Keeping both the mental game and physical approach in sync with one another is the structure in which the team builds upon to help each other close in the game.
Going For Goal-d: A plateau can be detrimental to team success, but remembering the goal might be what’s needed to shake them out of it. Marc Gatcomb said Saturday that a positive mindset and good energy each day are the catalysts for improvement.
