DECATUR GIRLS HOOPS
LET THE JUNE WORKOUTS BEGIN
COACH CORNER - COACH AMY
Hi Hawks!
I hope this LADY HAWK – Newsletter #2 finds everyone safe, healthy, and a little bit more in shape
I’ll be honest – I have struggled a little during the COVID-19 crisis. Work felt more challenging and frustrating at times. I missed being with my family in WI. I missed properly celebrating my 30th birthday, celebrating my family members birthdays and a few important graduations. It has been heavy and hard at times, but I tried to focus on my blessings and the good things.
While I immensely missed the high school gym, seeing our girls every day, hearing the basketball swish through the hoop, feeling the basketball bounce to my fingertips, coaching our girls through various situations, this unsettling time has given me and our team an opportunity to innovate.
Before the start of June, the coaching staff put together a June workout packet. I was truly re-energized by connecting with so many of you. Although being at home has enlighten my perspective, it has also reinforced my fundamental need to be apart of a great team like the one we have at Decatur Central. I have to say I am absolutely amazed at the level of energy and enthusiasm demonstrated by our team as we completed our first week of June 2020.
In spite of the ups and downs COVID brought and what is currently happening in our country, I would like to leave you with a positive note. Please welcome the newest addition to your Hawk Family…KAISER!! Kaiser is a 10-pound rescue, with a mix of Chihuahua sass and docksin sweetness. He is excited to watch basketball with his mom and support the LADY HAWKS come this winter!
I will leave you with a few words…. Please check in with your teammates. We all process in our own way, but let’s be there for each other, support each other, and lean on each other during this uncharted time. Your coaching staff will always be here, if you need an ear, advice, a nice chat, or a virtual hug.
I am grateful for each and every one of you!
Be Kind,
Coach Amy

So far during this wild time, I am trying to make the best of it. Me and my family walk our two dogs. I’ve been exercising trying to keep my body in shape. I’m so ready for golf to start back up and the fall semester to my senior year!! I’m so ready to graduate and move on in the real world. I am also so excited for my senior year of sports and to exceed in the best ways for this year.
The time I felt most confident during my basketball career was on snow coming, my sophomore year when I scored 20 points on 9/15 shooting against Plainfield. Even though we lost as a team we all tried our hardest and fought as a family. That game I shot 2-7 from the free-throw line. Last year I was better at free-throws and this year I plan to be even better. This season I would like to see the same fight and for us to be passionate about the Decatur central girls basketball program. Go lady Hawks!
JUNE POINTS GAME.
Go Hawks
