Your typical sports season is full of ups and downs.
The trick is to enjoy the highs (while never forgetting to build on the moment), without becoming overwhelmed by the lows.
The Coupeville High School girls’ basketball squad had an extremely rough outing in its last game, a blowout loss at Bellevue Christian.
But that shouldn’t dampen the fact the Wolves currently boast a winning record (4-3) and sit atop the the 1A Olympic League (2-0) for the third consecutive year.
Having taken the weekend to clear his head, CHS head man David King swings by the Coaches Corner to drop his thoughts.
As a team we have been busy since the first day of practice (Nov. 14), with very few days off.
The players have done a great job during this time. We have been successful more often than not.
We are coming off of one of our worst games on Friday night, so the two days off couldn’t have come at a better time.
The great thing about this team — if I would have said we had practice on Saturday, they would have been there, no questions asked.
Me as a coach, I got to get away from basketball for about a day and a half.
Even took Amy to the movies and saw “Rogue One” (yes, she paid).
I was able to refresh and re-energize myself for the next stretch we are about to head into.
As a coach and also the players, sometimes we can get tunnel vision and focus so hard on what we are trying to accomplish every day that we forget to see the bigger picture.
That bigger picture is to remember we all need some downtime. Time to be able to spend with friends, family and just time to relax.
Having been around these players over the years, I know they spent their weekend relaxing and re-energizing.
We have one game this week and I’m confident we will put Friday’s showing behind us and have one of our most complete games.
