Here they are SWYC USA team!!!!
We went to Myrtle Beach to try again - and while they came up short of a win (2nd place), I hope they came away with some valuable information about themselves!
1. They are winners - no matter the final standings.
2. Understand those other teams do far more traveling, sport shots and time invested than we do, by far! And you still managed and almost flawless day!
3. We all hope you got to see and learn that your attitude is EVERYTHING. It definitely shaped some of the day!
And lastly...
4. This is a TEAM Event, all of you work together to get where you need to be!!
We are proud of you despite your doubts in yourselves! You did fabulous...
And finally, to your 2 coaches: I hope you learned from this as well... you two young men did a great job - and the kids ❤️ ya! Thank you, Clayton Washington and Josh Hickman for being kind, helpful and encouraging to these guys - and you made it fun! We're hoping you can carve out time in your college schedules to do it again next year!
**special thanks to ALL the Parents .... you went into the unknown, allowed your kids to be taught by younger, inexperienced coaches, supported your team like parents should - with dignity! and just helping make the experience a positive, healthy one - even with the bumps that 12U have managing emotions, feelings, loss, excitement, elation, disappointment, and anger in less than a 8 hour period. This weekend was a win in our books, no matter what!!! We are extremely proud of all of you!
