The offseason is here. What have you planned today to make your team better? The practice schedule should point us in the right direction and a brief self-examination after practice should confirm progress. If only one player shows, she should be better than she was before. We have to practice with even more tempo, "go hard or go home."
We need to improve in every area - game understanding, skill, teamwork. We still need to value SIMPLICITY with teaching over coaching. Resist the temptation to OVERFEED. The highest priority (for us) belongs to scoring the ball.
