close due kids matches played
We played a lot of close matches with these kids and I think part of it was due to frustration.
difference freedom played
You can tell the difference from now and when we played Freedom in our first match. I think we still could have done better.
coming heart losing playing shown
Brittany, who is playing in her first match, has shown a lot of heart, losing a set and then coming back.
doubles hold hope loss match point single tennis win year
I am just at the point where I am at a loss for words. I tell them probably every year that I coach, I probably can't win every tennis match that I go out and play but I can hope they do it. We were up in every single doubles match, but we couldn't hold on to it.
complain endurance girls group hard helping shape
I have a very hard working group of girls and as much as they complain to me about it they really are getting in shape and it is helping and I want them to have the endurance to play a three-set match.
enjoy kids stick
I have kids who want to stick with it and really enjoy the sport, which helps.
girls next starting talked
We've talked about it in the past. We've had some girls who are up 6-0 and then the next thing you know it's 7-5. Now they're starting to really put it together.
beginning bit game rattled thrown
I think they were rattled a little bit at the beginning. They were thrown off their game a little bit, but they showed a lot of intensity, intestinal fortitude.
courtney life match played playing tennis
I think Courtney Owens, for never playing a tennis match a day in her life other than what she's played in practice, has done really well.
beginning difference either game girls gone good kids last major matches played season stuff three today
We had some matches that could have gone either way. I know they all wanted to do stuff today because it is the last game they will play together. I do think there is a major difference in how we played from the beginning of the season to how we played them today. My girls have made really good strides. I only had three kids with experience.
frustrated gotten knew past played seen start step teams yesterday
In the past I've always gotten frustrated because I've seen other teams step up during the season. I knew yesterday this wasn't the same team that played Battlefield at the start of the season. They had played much better than they have in the past.
candy hitting nice putting stuff top
Candy had some nice placement. She was putting some stuff on the ball. She was hitting top spin, she was hitting slice. She was putting it all together.
chick courtney flat needs next plays shot time work year
I know right now Courtney is frustrated. I will say flat out I thought Courtney was the better player. Courtney needs to work on better shot selection. Next year at this time when Courtney plays that chick it will be 6-0, 6-0.
courtney months proud since six
I'm proud of Courtney Owens, especially since she just got into the sport six months ago.
