This season, the Clairemont High School flag football team is gearing up for success with their dedicated and talented players. Coach Brittany Daniels is entering her second year as head coach and is determined to continue building a strong and competitive program. When asked about her overall goal for the team, Coach Daniels emphasizes the importance of building confidence, character, and motivation in her players both on and off the field. She believes in the power of never giving up and striving to be 1% better each day. The Clairemont High team has a strong group of returning players who will be pivotal in leading the team to victory. Among them are top returning players from last season such as Alexis Benjamin, Natalie Hovey, and Jada Bunton. These three young ladies are not only multi-sport athletes, but they have also been putting in the work to become versatile players. Coach Daniels knows these players will continue to be game-changers for the team. But it's not just the returning players who will make an impact this season. Coach Daniels also has her eye on incoming freshman Abigail "Abby" Mora, who has already proven herself as a threat to any team she comes across. Coach Daniels praises Abby's heart and intensity on the field, qualities that can't be taught. When selecting team captains, Coach Daniels looks for players who embody qualities such as leadership, determination, and a strong work ethic. The team captains for this season have not been announced yet, but Coach Daniels has her eye on a few players who she believes have the potential to lead the team to success. As with any season, preparing for games and tournaments comes with its own set of challenges. Coach Daniels and her coaching staff lead by example, getting out on the field and practicing with their players. She believes that pushing each other and holding each other accountable is the key to being better as a team. This season's schedule is filled with tough competition, including some teams that the Clairemont High team is eager to have a rematch with. Coach Daniels is confident that her team will come in hot and ready to take on any challenge. But it's not just physical skills that make a successful team. Coach Daniels understands the importance of the mental aspect of the game and is constantly learning and finding ways to improve not only for herself but for her team.
