LCE 18-1 went UNDEFEATED today! 🖤🏐

From Coach Amanda -

“It was an all around team effort. First tournaments are for learning and we spent the day learning each other, new roles, and even some new positions. I’m most proud of the support everyone showed for each other. We did not look like a team at their first competition together, but a cohesive unit. Standouts would include Lily, our setter, who ran a brilliant offense and Macey for her leadership and communication, as well as racking up a bunch aces”.

100% Andi Jackson showing athletes what it takes to be a great teammate!

Parents, if you want to show your daughters something worth watching from the NCAA Tournament, show them Andi Jackson from today’s match against Texas A&M.

She’s arguably the most dominant player in the country and a Player of the Year finalist. Today, she had an off day and was ultimately replaced by a freshman.

Why does this matter for our girls?

1. Even the best have off days and even the best get benched.

Let that sink in- If your daughter dominates a tournament and then ends up on the bench when the team struggles, it does not mean the coach hates her or suddenly thinks she is not good. It means the coach is making decisions for the team in that moment.

2. Watch what she did after she sat-

Jackson did not sulk. She did not disengage.

She stayed locked in, smiling, cheering, and fully invested in her teammates. I am sure it hurt. But she focused on what the team needed from her right then.

3. The real masterclass came after the loss.
She handled it with total grace, smiling, congratulating Texas A&M, and showing respect in the handshake line.

Mad respect for Andi Jackson. We already knew she is one of the best players in the country. Today showed she is also an elite teammate and an even better person.

That is the standard. 💪🏐
