Waterloo Tournament
Hi Everyone;

It was a really great effort over the weekend! The girls played 5 great games, and learned something from each one. They learned that when you beat a team 9-1, there's a good chance they'll be a different team the next time you play them. They learned to trust each other and believe in themselves. They learned that when things don't go the way you want, you always have two choices: curl up and give up, or figure out what went wrong and come back strong the next game. They also learned that the game isn't over until the final buzzer goes to end it.

Overall, it would have been nice to have won a medal, but there are a lot of positives to take away from the tournament. The girls worked hard all weekend, and were only a couple bounces away from winning that last game. And not long after, most of them were talking about how much better they would do at the next tournament in Barrie.

And what really impressed me was the positive attitude they had when the Brampton team was being awarded their medals. They enthusiastically and genuinely congratulated them on their win. Losing with class is a skill not many teams have, and it's something the girls did on their own - none of it came from the coaching staff.

You can't ask for more than that.

But look out Barrie! Here we come!!!!!

Coach Chris.
