Week 11

Happy New Year everyone! I am back in Ireland! My time at home certainly flew by but it was wonderful to be home to see my family and friends for the holidays. Now it’s back to work down here in Limerick! I was happy to see my U16s and U18s girls this past week for our first training session of the new year. It was especially exciting to see that every single girl who was there came to practice with their new basketballs that they had gotten for Christmas! This was the first time this had happened and I’m hoping this is a sign that the girls are starting to get more serious about playing. After running off all their Christmas turkey and cookies at the start of practice, the girls started to get back in the swing of things towards the end of the session. I noticed some of the girls talking while they were on the court and helping some of the other girls through the drills and plays we were running, which was obviously great to see! I’m looking forward to further improvement from them in the coming weeks! Also, this past weekend my Superleague team played in the Cup Semis down in Cork. We came out with a satisfying win over Waterford Wildcats (85-46). We are now headed to the finals in 2 weeks against Glanmire, who gave us our only loss of the season right before Christmas. It should be an exciting game and we’re all looking forward to it!!
