From the Coach's Desk | Adversity
adversity
ədˈvəːsɪti/
noun
1. a difficult or unpleasant situation.
"resilience in the face of adversity"
Sport, and certainly Basketball, can be a strange beast. Athletes, Coaches and Administrators world-wide will be aware of the frustrating and confusing scenario whereby a considerable amount of hard work doesn't necessarily yield the reward.
Our Wolfpack Women's group find ourselves in that position, following four consecutive losses, the most recent 1pt loss against the Stirling Senators adding extra sting.
We have a strong and healthy list, and will shortly have that group all together again, and ready to play the brand of Basketball that we accept as our trademark, and that the league and fans have become accustom to seeing.
As a Head Coach, I look to simplicity at this time, rather than complexity. How do we make the game enjoyable, the required workload achievable, and the game plan executable?
And it is, perhaps strangely, the simple path that will be most effective for us from here.
Hard work, consistency in appearance and the process, and our team bond will take care of the result moving forward.
When faced with adversity, whether in life/sport/work/wherever, we often truly find out who we are and what we stand for. We ...are the Wolfpack.
