“Staying healthy is the No.1 key and focus on our team. We look for our athletes to do everything they can to keep themselves healthy. If they stay healthy, the coaching staff believes we can do some pretty amazing things by the end of this season. I’m eternally grateful for the athletes we have who have been incredible leaders and positive role models on our team, who we will look to help lead the rest of the team as well this year.”
