They were preparing a nice meal for Dayna Curry, whose birthday was on the 4th (November). Over the past few days it had been relatively quiet in Kabul proper and I think emotionally they had all come to develop a sense of resignation -- that they were in for the long haul, that they were doing OK emotionally, but they certainly did want to get out of there as soon as they could. |

This week's practices will be all about brushing up on things. We'll help the players with things that they feel they're not doing crisply. |
Those four are the best recruiting class we've had since we've been here. They're going to do nothing but get better and we're excited to see where they take us in the future. |
We had another tough match with a short turn around after a difficult match last night. I was proud of our team for bouncing back at the level that we did to get the win today. |
We're really excited that we hung in there after losing the doubles point. I saw six very determined singles players today. We gave a great effort and I think this team grew up a lot out there. |
We're very proud of Kellie and excited for her. It's very deserved. She had an excellent weekend and has been playing well all year. She won some important matches and hopefully she will continue doing that for us the rest of the way. |
You just try to get an idea of the certain teams and players play. When you see all the teams during the year you can have a game plan ahead of time of what you need to do. You can work on certain things in practice. This way it's just more fly by the seat of your pants coaching. |
