For those of you who have not gotten off the couch, stopped watching Netflix, or given up any beach days to get a work out in or hit the soccer field, then I would suggest you start now. This is our now or never season to get off to a good start ahead for the future. Preseason is only a month away and now is the time to be in shape for it. Not next week or the week before you leave for school because preseason has already started. I have faith in you ladies that, to most of what I just said, you are rolling your eyes at me because you have been working out already. I am basically just a broken record of what you already know you need to do and what this upcoming season could mean for us. For those of you not rolling your eyes and realizing that there is only about a month left, you better start busting your butt! Don't get me wrong, Friday Night Lights has had me tempted to sit on the couch for the rest of the day, but that will always be there while a chance to make NCAA's only happens every so often.
All in all, after that little attempt at a motivational speech, this season is going to be a blast. I cannot wait to see all the faces of the ladies I will be playing side by side with and who push me to be better. Heather Marko with her sparkling headband, Kylie Wallace with her positive attitude and inability to not irritate Cammey Keyser (kidding Kylie), Hannah Saccocio with her smooth dance moves, and Danielle Schmitt and Macee Maddock back and ready to take over. Okay, maybe those aren't reasons that make me better as a player but they bring the team together along with all the other ladies who make us a family. Don't worry Charisse, I didn't leave you out on purpose, there are just so many good things to say about you I couldn't decide which to pick!
Get ready for an amazing season. Freshman, be ready to join our team as player at Plattsburgh State!
Last, I would like to welcome our new coach, Tania Armellino! We are excited to have you, to play for you, and to win.
