As the spring season approaches, coaches are preparing their teams for the challenges and triumphs ahead. The spring season provides a fresh start and an opportunity for athletes to push themselves and to allow for more growth.

With the upcoming new sports season, coaches are setting higher expectations for their athletes.

“My expectations are high,” coach Mark Meier said. “They must work hard and practice every day, have dedication, and cannot miss practice.”

Coach Meier is serious about this year’s sport as he is optimistic and expects the athletes to push themselves to their full limit.

Sports is all about passion, teamwork, and pushing yourself to your limit. It is about the thrill of competition, the joy of victory, and the resilience to get back up from defeat.

When asked how the coaches motivate their players coach Devin Post replied with, “By making sure they have fun and hold them accountable when they don’t live up to the expectations of the team.”

Sports bring people together. They teach us valuable life lessons like discipline, perseverance, and sportsmanship.

Although coaches expect their athletes to thrive hard, they still want them to have fun. “My expectation is for them to have fun and learn some important skills about tennis… and life,” coach Hannah
Defreese said.

Coaches play a vital role in guiding and shaping the athletes’ skills, techniques, and overall performance. They provide guidance, motivation, and strategic advice to help their team excel.

With their experience and expertise, coaches create a positive and supportive environment where athletes can learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Their dedication and passion for the sport inspire and empower the athletes to give their best on and off the field.

Spring sports would not be the same without these amazing coaches who invest their time and energy to nurture the talents of their team members.
