Naomi does the best she can do as she has to ride the bus to school and loses valuable practice time before school. However, when she comes to class, she works hard and has moved up to the number 2 slot on the challenge ladder. She plays with heart and grit. I love that she is coachable and listens carefully to instruction. Every chance she can, she shows up to the courts to train. I wish I had more kids that would get in the "zone" and play competitively when the time calls for it. Great job Naomi. I am proud to be your coach. Now its time to battle once more in the district tournament coming up Saturday. I am sure she will have her game face on ready to proudly serve as a Coyote!
