Immediately following the last practice of the season I heard commotion coming from the locker room. When I entered the locker room I found two of my Teammates who for the sake of our Team I will not be naming in this article had been into a physical fight. While anger and passion are understandable after the end to our season this is supposed to be a family disagreements are natural but physical confrontations will not be tolerated. I decided to call a players only meeting to discuss the issues.
“Thanks for coming guys Boom and I appreciate you attending. After the other day we wanted to take a moment and talk with you guys. We love the passion and the engagement in the success of our Team. While missing the playoffs were obviously not part of the game plan it happened. If we want to build on our success next season we have to stay united. This is the time to address any and all
frustrations. When we leave this room we leave as one. Whether that be in an hour or Eight hours this ends today.”
We spent the next little while behind closed doors hashing out our family issues and emerged from that meeting closer than ever.
