We lost, but played really good. We were quick and stole the ball often, and I think we should focus on that as our future game plan. Because although we are smaller than most of the teams we play, we seem to be much faster. Also, we need to work on our shots and rebounding. I think our lack of height hurts us in these areas, because these teams seem intimidating and impact our shot percentage and rebounding ability. I will try to create an effective rebounding drill and when we work on shooting I will stress to focus on hitting the middle of the backboard. Hitting this spot almost ensures making a basket, and if I can get them to learn to focus on it while shooting it will increase the amount of made baskets. I was very shocked by how well they did against a team so much bigger, because I know how difficult it can be to keep trying to compete with people who are a head above you.
