Still So Much to Learn, But I'm Smiling

John Wooden talks about success in terms of preparing to play to the best of your ability and then playing at that level. The score isn't the indicator of success. Reaching your potential is the indicator. Last night our skill level was out matched, but our effort was at our full potential. We were outscored, but you know what, we all really enjoyed the game. The girls can tell when they're playing their smartest and their hardest. The coaches can tell. The parents can tell. And you know what, when you see them playing to their potential, we all smile, we all laugh, we all enjoy the bright moments. And when the game was over, I think our girls were jumping around and laughing more than the other team. I'm very proud of our team (girls, coaches, and parents). We were successful.
