The games get bigger, but so does the reward.

As the Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad prepares for the postseason — the Wolves are the Olympic League’s #1 seed and open double-elimination district play Feb. 14 — it’s all about remembering what got you there, then building on that.

Wolf coach David King swings by The Coaches Corner to drop a little wisdom:

The regular portion of our season is over, but it’s not going to be forgotten.

We are going to take what we struggled with and look to shore them up and get better.

The things we did well, we will also look to improve. We aren’t going to settle where we are at.

Our goal is to enhance and improve on them.

District play is upon us and it’s a new season.

The great thing about this team is they will put in the work.

Each of the players has postseason experience in one or more sports. That experience is a great thing.

It helps with knowing what it takes to get there, the work required to be successful.

Here are a few things I want the players to realize as we begin our preparation for districts:

Never settle.

Believe in yourself, your team and the system.

Play with confidence.

Push yourself beyond what you think your limitations are.

Enjoy the experience and ride.

But, most important, have fun!
