Where to start, where to start. This week was our bye week so the ladies rallied together to get out as much energy as we could into server receive drills and some intense defensive footwork. We have been doing a lot of competition drills amongst the team and you can surely see the intensity and concentration in everyone’s eyes. Every now and then we might be fortunate enough to have Coach K step in a drill and get to hound him for EVERY error, the way he hounds us. No games this week, meant pushing our bodies to the limit and putting our brains to use. Tue, 25 Sep 2012 04:00:00 GMT http://www.howard-bison.com/sports/wvball/2012-13/releases/20120925su031k 2012-09-25T04:00:00Z http://www.howard-bison.com/sports/wvball/2012-13/releases/20120918xk55yn Well looks like I’m up next to update you guys with the weekly blog. For starters, after coming off from the UMBC tournament the team as a whole knew we needed to get back in the gym and get to work. Practice went very well this past week. I felt we gained more knowledge of how Coach K wants things done, and how to try and transfer our energy and confidence into games. Our main focus that we worked on was blocking drills, team defense, and serving. As the week went on we knew we had the William & Mary tournament coming up, and our first game we were going to be facing Howard University’s #1 rival Hampton.

We all had to get back into our groove to figure out who our professors were, what building our classes were in, what books we needed and remember how to manage our time efficiently. While we are not in pre-season and don’t have to eat together at every meal we still text one another during lunch to see who is available.

All of our broken promises have been mended and all of our questions answered. Numbers are what we strive for; those good ole stats.

With the second week of classes starting up and the schedule picking up, the Bison’s have a lot coming up on their plate. But no doubt we are ready for it! Over the weekend we traveled to Pitt to play in our first tournament, which included a roster of competitive teams. Among those were University of Pittsburgh, Coastal Carolina and Butler. With the first game jitters out, we saw progress being made on the court although there is still much work to be done.

For starters we have just added a new member to our coaching staff named Rich!! (I’m not sure of his last name so I just call him Rich) Any who talk about him and Coach K being complete opposites; I LOVE IT! Rich brings a lot of spunk, energy, and fire; his positive energy is so infectious. If he can’t bring a smile to your face I don’t know who could. We have been working as a team to improve and now with the extra help from Rich, I know we will reach our goals.
