Enough is enough

The team travels to Sollentuna on Saturday to face off against the team that left us with a very disappointing feeling for quite some time after our first encounter. Everyone was extremely excited and looking forward to this match up, and after it had come and gone we all knew that we could’ve done more. There’s nothing worse than losing a game knowing you could’ve done better. Lately we’ve been mired in many “could’ves, would’ves, and should’ves,” and it’s time to say enough is enough. It’s time to get angry and do semthing about it. It’s time for revenge.
Everyone is more then tired of losing game in, game out. Sure there are games where accepting defeat is easier then others. But only when we’ve given all that we can, and the other team truly earned it. Saturday’s game needs to be a reflection of this thought process. Sollentuna MUST do everything they can, to take this win from us. They have to fight like they’ve never fought before because we are angry. We are angry of losing, we are angry of underperforming, and we are angry they beat us the first time around. As a player on the team, I’m fed up. And as the coach of the team, I’m furious. All of these losses are not a reflection of the team we are. And it is far beyond time we show up and show it to the club, the fans, and ourselves that we deserve to be in this league and achieve a victory.
So even though we know we’re also going to have to fight like hell to win this game, we are prepared to do so. We have a game plan in place and will follow it this time around. We will be mentally prepared and focused like never before. We are going to fight for each other because we are no longer accepting disappointment. Saturday’s game is a very important one, and until then we will be killing ourselves in practice and the gym to break this losing streak.
Fighting spirit

The team suffered another loss against Sollentuna Saturday. As disappointing as it is to lose again, the team finally gave a real fight, followed the game plan provided, and executed their best performance to date since the loss of our setters. It was a really enjoyable game to be a part of, and despite the negative outcome, the team grew once again.
The biggest issue that led to this loss was the amount of missed serves. The team had FIFTEEN missed serves!! This is an exorbitantly high number when you’re battling a team point for point. In a game such as this one, there isn’t room for so many unforced errors. Sollentuna is similarly matched to the Degerfors girls and no easy points can be given.
The other part of our game that hurt us was in reception. Sollentuna played quite strategically and really put pressure on our passers to move our feet. We needed to be more aggressive in our reception because our attack was great when we had the opportunity to hit.
The game was very well fought nonetheless. The girls managed to find the fighting spirit that we’ve been lacking for so long, and play with confidence. Our blocking and setting is constantly improving and it’s only a matter of time before we get that first win.
