The Week Ahead: 9.24 to 9.30

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities.

Seize common occasions and make them great.

As I mentioned in the previous post with our results from the D3 Invite, we had quite a meet yesterday! The D3 Invite always serves as a great mid-season check-in point before we embark on the second-half of our season and begin our Conference dual meets. We should certainly be excited about where we're at! However, it also gives us some big-picture items and plenty of small details to focus in on and improve upon. Moreover, as our quotes are meant to highlight, we can't wait for another "big" opportunity to get up for again... Everyday we need to focus, compete, and get better. If we can do that day-in and day-out throughout October, we'll set ourselves up for a truly fun November.

Here are the details for the week... Note the time change for Tuesday's dual and the service project Saturday night.

Tuesday 9.26

• Meet AWAY vs. Unity @ Hudsonville High School
• Bus LEAVES the Aquatic Center at 4:15pm.

Friday 9.29

• Football Cleanup
• This is our second and last football cleanup for the season!
• The more volunteers we have the faster it goes!

• Meet me by the concession at the end of the 4th Quarter to grab gloves and a trash bag.
