Dave is very athletic and has lots of potential. He should really help the program. |
I think she has the potential to have a chance to be a state champion. No doubt about that. |
Leslie has a great work ethic. |
She's going to have to start working harder if she wants to get to her potential. It's hard to work that hard. She has to push herself in practice. We put her through grueling workouts today. They were hard on her ... but she hit all her times. |
She's just a hard worker and a natural talent. She just needs to keep her work ethic up. We'll give her the workouts, and she'll hit the times like I know she will. |
She's understanding the value of that. She worked ridiculously hard. |
The older girls set a pretty high example and Amanda stays right with them. |
The thing that helps her is that she's surrounded by 10 girls that work really hard and just feed off each other in practice and push each other harder and harder. There's so much talent that they know that, if they don't do their best, they'll be passed by the next person and they all know that. |
There are a couple of kids that are right on the border in certain events. |
There are a number of new girls that will contribute in the throws. |
We had a talk today -- all the coaches did with all the girls -- they started off not where they needed to be earlier today. So we stopped the practice, sat them down and had a serious talk. Then they finished pretty hard. |
You only have one day to prepare how you're going to place everyone in the meet and what your strategy is against other teams. We go on the Internet and look for results in the papers, and you've just got to do some hard research, and you'll eventually find them. |
