Wanted: Changes

After 3 tough Saturdays and only 1 redeemable Sunday, my assistant coach and I are starting to see the little "errors" become more and more routine...for the more experienced girls. It's scary.

I can't say enough how pleased I am with all the girls, some of the times. And I can't tell you how continually surprised I am that the majority of my "little ones" are saving the butts of my "bigger ones." So what does that mean for us, with 3 tournaments under our belt now?

It means that it's time for change. We change leagues and cities this coming weekend and I'm going to take a chance on what I once I considered my "2nd string." I can't call them that anymore, though, because they're the ones stepping up and performing.

I'm not trying to be mean, either. I know some of the girls read this, so let me reiterate: I'm not trying to be mean. And I know all the girls are TRYING. But like Yoda says in The Empire Strikes Back, "Try not. Do. Or do not."
