The off season activities are underway and open gym has started. I would classify this as the most important off season we've had since I started coaching at SPA. We have a solid group of young players who got a lot of valuable experience last year. Everyone of them needs to continue building off that experience. Each guy must play as much as possible this summer while also working on their individual skills and strength training. It's no surprise that the people who got the most shots up and spent the most time in the gym last summer lead us in scoring during the season. If you put in the work you will be rewarded for it!
A competitive open gym is the best way to get better as a program. The key word in that sentence is "competitive". We must push each other to get better and be willing to call each other out if someone is not giving maximum effort. We need alumni to come and beat up on the younger guys. We need current SPA players to bring friends from other schools who aren't afraid to mix things up. We've had flashes of this over the years but need to be more consistent. It can't be done unless everyone in the program buys into this mind set. I'm hoping we turn that corner soon!
Summer Team members need to be at the open gym May 25 to discuss the up coming schedule.
