NAYS Crystal Lake 2010 Tournament Wrap-up


Another character building tournament weekend, no question. A one point loss with a chance to win in the semis is a hard thing to swallow. We didn't come away with medals this time, but there is no question in my mind that we could have won this tournament.

I felt we had our opportunities down the stretch, but the roll and the bounce just didn't go our way when we needed it to. I think we must remember the opportunities were there to win and to forget the things we have no control over.

This Team is coming together and there is a lot to be excited about with this group!

As a coach, I always reflect back after a tough loss like this and ask myself; "Where there opportunities to put us in a better position to win?"... Its easy for me to play Monday morning quarterback and list all the "shoulda coulda" items. No doubt I'm my toughest critic.

We'll continue to find ways to improve and we won't accept excuses!

I want to leave you with a favorite quote of mine....

"People do not differ in their desire to win;....they differ in the price they are willing to pay to win."

MAYB Iowa City here we come!!!!

Lets continue to prepare and pay the price!

Sincerely,
Coach Bowman
