Um, Nicole, why? Why do you need to respect your coach?

I think it goes back to Courtney said about, like, what life is.

Like, you're, you're gonna work with people, you're gonna be around people, and you may not always agree with them.

Um, but I think the respect comes into the team culture, and I think a good team culture creates just a good team.

Um, and I think if you respect a coach, I think then you can have those conversations with the coach and get a good response.

And by good response, I mean that they hear you and will have a conversation.

It doesn't mean they're gonna agree with you or any of these things, but it's, um, a mutual respect for each other to where I think both can excel and hopefully learn.

Yeah

Mm-hmm

... financial p- aspect of it, and if you're from a small town, like I was from a small town, like, just being able to have the time to be able to be on a good team and then do all these extra things I think is, that's where it gets tougher once you get into high school.

Um, I played multiple sports growing up, and it wasn't until I got into high school did I shift because of, you know, volleyball was my priority, and to be able to do the other sports was near impossible, um, because I would be gone traveling, especially, like, spring ball, that type of stuff.

Like, I enjoy...

I love softball.

It wasn't till my junior or senior year that the track coach was like, "Just do high jump.

You can leave, and it's whatever.

Why do you disagree?
