One of our biggest strengths will be our consistency and balance. We should be very solid 1 thru 6. Already, I think I have one of the most mentally tough squads I've been around. The newcomers we brought in are proven winners who have played very well in the national tournaments. We won't be intimidated by anyone.
Mental toughness is a key.
I'm really trying to get the girls to train harder this year than the past. We need to get stronger, mentally and physically. We've been doing a bunch of running, and weights have become a much more vital part of our regimen. We have a brutal travel schedule so we have to be physically and mentally strong to be able to withstand that. As far as the seasons, we really beefed up the competition this fall.
