What are your expectations for your team this year? 
We made a lot of strides last year in understanding the mental side of the game and realizing how to finish games. We have a lot of experience coming back this year and really feel we will be able to finally put together the pieces.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success? 
We need to make sure we control tempo of the game and play at the pace we want to. If we get behind the sticks and play at their tempo it can take us out of our rhythm

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success? 
Attack. Plain and simple, when we are thinking to much we are playing slow. We need to play fast and put our guys in a position to pin their eyes back and play ball.
