As the new high school basketball season kicks off, the Justice High School Wolves are gearing up and preparing to make their mark on the court. Under the guidance and leadership of head coach Jack Deschauer, this team is looking to build upon a successful previous season and continue to grow as a unit both on and off the court. We had the opportunity to chat with Coach Deschauer about the team, their goals, and his coaching approach for the upcoming season. Firstly, we asked Coach Deschauer about the returning players from last season that he believes will have a significant impact on the team. He highlighted their strong senior class and their talented guards. These players bring not only skill and experience to the court but also leadership and determination. Their dedication to the team and their passion for the game make them special and an integral part of the team's success. But it's not just about individual players, the coach stressed the importance of building a community of student-athletes who care about being a Justice Wolf. The ultimate goal is for each player to enjoy their time on the team, make new friends, and push themselves to be their best. Success, for Coach Deschauer, is not just about winning games but also about the overall experience and growth of each player. In terms of new players, the coach believes that their strong returning class provides a solid foundation for the team. However, he did mention that there are some new players who have the potential to make an immediate impact. With their depth at the guard position, these new players will bring an added level of skill and depth to the team. It will be exciting to see how they fit into the team dynamic and contribute to the team's success. Team chemistry and camaraderie are crucial for any sports team, and the coach emphasizes the importance of these elements for their team. He believes that kindness, teamwork, and effort are essential ingredients for building a strong sense of team unity and spirit. Every second spent together, whether on or off the court, is an opportunity to strengthen and grow as a team. When it comes to motivation, Coach Deschauer believes in creating an environment where players feel supported and encouraged by their teammates. He emphasizes building each other up rather than tearing each other down, and the players understand that putting in maximum effort and pushing themselves to their full potential is necessary for playing time and success on the team.
