16 years in this coaching and training.
Hundreds of athletes.
Thousands of sessions.
Middle school to professional.
But this groupâŚ
hit different.
Iâve known some of these girls for years.
Iâve watched them grow up.
Watched them come in quiet and unsure⌠and slowly become confident, strong, and unshakeable.
Iâve seen the tears.
The frustration.
The injuries.
The doubt.
And Iâve seen them choose to keep going anyway.
Thatâs what makes me proud.
Not the banner.
Not the title.
The growth.
The way they bought into something bigger than themselves.
The way they showed up when it was hard.
The way they trusted the work long before it paid off.
Sore bodies.
Extra reps.
No shortcuts.
Showing up tired on Fridays.
They earned every bit of this.
Being invited to the banner ceremony meant more than I can put into words.
Reading the handwritten notes⌠that got me.
Because behind every lift, every conditioning session, every correction - there was trust.
And thatâs never something I take for granted.
Today was bittersweet.
Proud beyond words.
Grateful for the opportunity to be part of their journey.
And honestly⌠a little emotional watching the seniors close this chapter after all these years together.
To this team-
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for your work ethic.
Thank you for letting me watch you grow into who youâre becoming.
Now go chase that back-to-back state championship.
Youâve already proven who you are. đĽ
