Struggled with hustle in the first quarter, but picked up in the next three. We let the other team score 10 points in the first quarter, but held them to only 6 in the following three quarters; so much better at defense. But need to slow down and focus on shots; we get good angles but then just chuck up the ball. I am going to make sure that our bench is focused on the game and only saying encouraging things; once again boredom occasionally comes over them. Also, I am starting to work out which people play well together for future line ups. We will continue to work on improving our dribbling and passing skills. I hope to cause these skills to turn into muscle memory (not requiring any attention) and instead direct this focus all on the more difficult concepts (ex. shooting, defense, rebounding). I will keep reinforcing hustling.
