To bring in the Christmas holiday, my team decided to have a team bonding night. The night consisted of us sharing Secret Santa gifts and spending a night out on the town with us all wearing Christmas jumpers (sweaters). It’s really cool to see how the differences and similarities in how a different culture celebrates Christmas. Hearing my teammates’ various plans for the holiday, and us exchanging ideas and thoughts for holiday celebrations really got me into the Christmas spirit.
Times like this also show me what being a part of a team is all about. It’s great when you all work hard on the court in hopes of achieving the same goal, but to also create a bond off the court is something special. In college, I loved participating in Secret Santa and various bonding activities with my teammates, and to come to Waterford an be able to create a bond with another group of special ladies will leave me with even more memories that will last a lifetime!
