Hey Cardinal Fans, it's Gwen Rucker here and practice today was great. We really are looking good and I couldn't be happier with the amount of effort and talent that this group of girls is displaying.
I can't wait for you all to come see us play this season. We actually had a day off yesterday to do some team bonding and to let our minds and bodies get a break. It was much needed. We even got off from practice this morning and came in for a team informational meeting around 2:30 and then had practice at 3:30. What I was most proud of today was seeing girls getting after it in the gym before our team meeting today. More than half of our girls were in the gym getting more reps and making their game that much better, on their morning off!
Practice was great. We really got after it and I can say that everyone got better today. We played super competitive drills and everyone had a great time doing it. I was shocked when Anne said, "all right everyone bring it in and let's go eat," because I was unaware that practice was even over. Time flies when you're having fun, I guess.
We all went to The Ville Grille for dinner, ate a healthy and nutritious meal then went home to rest our bodies for our last day of two-a-days. As soon as we got home Caitlin Welch sent me a picture message of flowers that she had received that evening to congratulate her on completing preseason. I didn't want to let her know that I was jealous, but let's just say...I was jealous .
That's all from me, I hope you guys had a good time reading my blog and I can't wait to see you all out supporting us this year. Louisville really does have the best fans in the country. #L1C4
