Full schedule set for Lady Vols!
Here is the paragraph that made me happy:
Harper is setting the tone of expectations early – Pat Summitt always said a coach can start tough and get nice but not the reverse – and reinforcing fundamentals, especially the principles of boxing out. Harper is a Summitt protégé, and the comparisons, while expected, should cease to be the focus once the season gets underway.
——————————
In other words, Kellie is being a hard-@ss in practice, and she’s more laser-focused on getting the players ready to play than she is whether they like her or not.
HALLELEUJAH!!!!!
Of course, this kind of head coach is probably shocking to the returning players, but my hope is that, like with Pat, they develop a deep respect and confidence in what their coach is telling them, even if they don’t always enjoy the tone of how she’s saying it.
Lord knows Kellie probably doesn't necessarily WANT to have to be a hard-@ss — she seems like a naturally-sweet woman — but if there’s any hope of reversing the “losing mindset” that was leftover from previous years, then she really has no choice. Kellie MUST shake the “loser” out of the returners, even if it means they sometimes have to go to a nicer assistant coach to cry on her shoulder about how mean ol’ Kellie is picking on them. Sound familiar?
Love these Lady Vols. Love our Lady Vol coaches. Looking forward to seeing how an intensely-disciplined preseason translates into improved fundamentals and more confident body language.
