Notes from Coach Sean (April 5)

Hi Danger fans.

A dissapointing day yesterday as we fell victim to a 3-1 scoreline to a Jackson Rush team who i think we will all agree we had the beating of!

Without wanting to make excuses i do believe that if we had practiced Thursday we would have been better prepared! However we have to look at the positives, which when scrimmaging you always have to look for. One of the biggest things was the quality of our defending at times! We had their forwards sealed up for most of the game! Big word being most! it only takes one second of sloppy concentration anywhere on the field to make a mistake and give your opponent an opportunity!

I told the girls after the game that it was great for us to learn that, We now know and will have it in our minds that we have to concentrate for every second! i think were going to be a stronger team because of this experience (By experience i mean conceding 3 goals late in each period of play)!!!

As we all know Sophie got hurt towards the end of the game. Were looking at her being out for a week with a strain of her left mcl!! On behalf of Paris Danger i would like to wish Sophie a speedy recovery. Sophie has scored 7 goals in the 6 games we have had so far!

Next week is a big week for us, we host a round robin tournament and i would like you to start getting the girls ready! theres a trophy for the winning team there and being the hosts, we would love to keep it in Paris! Just a quick note, We will be busting out the new white shirts, red shorts and Tornado socks for the games!

Let me assure you that we will be getting some work done in practice this week!!! I'm excited and were at the stage now where we are ready for that big push!!!

With Sophie being out for the week it is an opportunity for someone else to step up and earn a starting spot! not just while she's out but even when shes back!

Also i would like to mention that next week we will be selling refreshments possibly including water, gatorade and Burgers. Lets all pull together and make this happen.

Finally i would like to thank Denny Millette for all his hard work this season so far, he has decided to step down and enjoy watching Samy progress froma Dad's perspective. Much of the teams success stems from the hard work of Denny and im sure you will join me in wishing him a very enjoyable season.

I would also like to thank all of the people who do things behind the scene's that many of us dont see. Again much of the kid's success and ENJOYMENT is down to the hard work you guys do. The people include Kelly Blaine, Nina Owen, Shannon Browning, Heather Carter and of course assistant coach Kristen (Krum - haha). If i have forgot to thank anyone else please dont take it personally! you know i am very gratefull!

See you all Tuesday! Have a great rest of the weekend!

Coach Sean
