“If you want to change what you did then you have to change what you’re doing to get ready. Of course the object is to win. Do you want to win because you’re just less bad than the team you just played? Or do you want to win because you really, really played well?” Geno Auriemma

Players: There's never been an easier time to be an absolute dirtbag in the game than right now. Here are a few ways to stand out amongst the crowd that every player can do: ▪️Sprint on & off the field. 1st one on, 1st one off ▪️Run your best home to 1st time on every ball you
