Coach
Young believes it is important for any coach at ANY level to always try and
learn something new EVERY season. Coach Young wants the IMMS Lady Lions to
realize it is about competing against yourself every single day - not winning
every time at every competition since it is not realistic in life. It’s
about getting better every day and being better than you were the day before.
When we focus on this, it takes the fear out of trying. Great things will
happen if you “bring it” every day, not just when you feel like it. This is a
life lesson you will take with you long after your days of playing sports for
life’s other journeys.
