Hello, all! I hope this weekend has been an overall therapeutic one?? Hang in there, and please let me (and/or the rest of the Hamilton basketball staff) know if you need anything at all!
First, here goes with the upcoming weekly schedule:
**Monday: practice 3-5 (MS East gym)
**Tuesday: no practice/no game…Mr. Hoppe's funeral/home Varsity game in the evening.
**Wednesday: home game vs. Allegan (4 PM) in MS West gym…more details to come.
**Thursday: home game vs. Hopkins (5 PM) in HS…more details to come.
**Friday: practice 3-5
Note: Our canceled team dinner is tentatively planned for next Monday, Dec. 16…same time/details…per Team McMahon's permission.
Next, take a look at the list of "team goals" to the left. The guys brainstormed and voted on these meaningful, measurable goals in our team meeting this past Friday.
Also, speaking of the team meeting, the guys also brainstormed fitting "descriptors" of what a TEAM CAPTAIN should have as part of his human skill set. Ideas like "takes charge", "has respect of others", "composed", "supportive", "personable on/off the court", "positive communicator", etc. were all brought up. As I review the anonymous nominations the guys made on paper, I'm very pleased to see that the clear majority of our 13 players at least received one captain vote! That's great news in my book. A lot of guys showcase some natural, positive leadership skills! Keep that up, everyone. And if you're lacking in any one department, make that a personal goal of yours to step it p. Oh, and captain results will be revealed in person tomorrow :)
Finally, keep in mind and continue to put into practice our team theme of TOUGHNESS (charges/loose balls)!
Take care, all! Let's get the game schedule portion of our season off to a positive start…while also focusing on the truly important things in life like loving and respecting each other!
