Re: Dealing with disapointments

Ever since our terrible year in 2009, we have restructured EVERYTHING we do during the off-season and during the season. In 2009, the team took the mistakes that we made and made sure that they did not occur again this past year. Also, we tried to make everything simpler and easier.

I would love to write a huge post about all of this but I just wanted to mention what we did. My team didn't just sulk and say "OK were just gonna try harder next year." We decided that we were going to do things and hit our marks.

This was a quote I stated to the team last year during our Pre-Season meetings.

"Disappointments are what happened when we accepted defeat last year. This year, I am not accepting nothing less than excellence and positive outcomes."

I believe for a fact we truly did accomplish what that quote stated.
