Coach’s Corner

Hayden is a great teammate and highly coachable. He has played both forward and defense in games and practice. I know he is new to playing forward but I think he has done a good job. Hayden played well on defense in our second tournament. As a forward, Hayden can improve his quickness out of turns and take it to the net more. On defense, Hayden can improve his weakside defense positioning and point shots. He has been a great addition to the team!
