What the Record Doesn’t Show

I figured now would be a good time to give a little update on how our Mystics season has been going. While we’re still in pursuit of out first win, we’ve definitely been showing big improvements. About halfway through the season we had a coaching change. Our new coach brought along some new players so it’s been really nice having more players on the team. Even though our season hasn’t been going great, the spirit and morale still remain high and honestly that makes everything so much better. Everyone’s still having a great time, our team has become so close and the whole experience has been amazing.

This past weekend we played the team who had just beat the number one team in the league. It was probably our greatest game of the season. We came up just short, losing by 2, but it was such an exciting and hard-fought game. It was probably the best we’ve all played together. We only have two games left this season but we’re really hoping to get a win.

Outside of basketball though, I love how close our team is. Whether it’s team dinners, going to the movies or hanging out together after games, it’s always great craic. There’s an amazing blend of personalities that all mesh really well together. Having all of them here has really shaped so much of my experience in Ireland. When we joined the team there was only one returner, I think the fact that there wasn’t an already established team and that we were all new really helped bring us all together. So while we might not have the best record, I would not trade this team and this experience for anything.
