I tell the girls: We win like women, and we lose like women. |
It's a varsity program, so the emphasis is on winning. Winning is more fun. No one likes to lose, but the three cornerstones that we focus on when we begin each season are: We want the girls to improve, we want them to have fun, and we want them to learn sportsmanship. |
These people work hard to get to the Olympics at all costs. And I always ask the girls: When they hear that Olympic music or the national anthem, does it rev them up? Does it make the hair on the back of their neck stand up? |
They are such an inspiration, and those guys are still living in the limelight for something they did 20 years ago. I like to emphasize that underdog feeling, supporting each other, the team aspect. |
