The Trinity High School volleyball team is gearing up for an exciting season, ready to take on the challenges and competition of the court. In a recent interview with Coach Denice Cody, she shared her thoughts on the team’s key players, new additions, challenges, and goals for the upcoming season. With her passion for the game and her experience as a coach, it’s evident that she is determined to lead the team to success. Top Returning Players: Coach Cody is confident that her returning players will be the driving force for the team this season. She values their knowledge and understanding of the game, as well as their smart and strong playing abilities. Leading the team is senior Lilian Burger, who has been putting in extra time and effort to improve and excel as a setter. Her dedication and hard work make her a valuable asset to the team and a potential leader on the court. Impactful Newcomers: While the team has some strong returning players, Coach Cody also has high expectations for some of the new additions to the team. She believes that senior Claire Cox, with her great athletic abilities and positive attitude, will make a significant contribution to the team this season. Qualities of Team Captains: When it comes to selecting team captains, Coach Cody looks for players who are committed and dedicated to the game, not just on the court but also off the court. Captains should lead by example, showing up early to practice and giving their all until the very end. They should also act as a link between the coach and the players, with a positive and inclusive personality. Building Team Chemistry: Team chemistry is an integral part of a successful team, and Coach Cody knows the importance of it. She believes that strong captains are essential for building team camaraderie and keeping players motivated. Additionally, she plans on incorporating plenty of team-building activities and limiting distractions such as phones during team events. Motivating Players: To motivate her players to reach their full potential, Coach Cody is focusing on creating healthy competition within the team. By encouraging players to push themselves and fight for positions, she hopes to inspire them to give their best on the court. Challenges: One of the biggest challenges in preparing for the upcoming season has been getting the players to focus solely on volleyball. With busy schedules and other commitments, it can be challenging to get everyone together for pre-season training. However, Coach Cody is determined to overcome this challenge and get her team ready for the tough competition ahead.
