I can barely believe it, but there's something Brewing here in Arnold: Maryland hi, I'm, Wiley Baker. It's the 10th anniversary of athletes in action, we're here at Broadneck, High School.

C

Overall, Vibe of the field, it's never like negative, it's always positive. Everyone just gets along has their laughs, but we still just work hard and it all kind of just gels us all together. No.

D

Matter, whether they're on the field or off the field, everyone's kind of buying into the same ideas, the same motivation, the same goal, which is not actually to win a state championship, it's just to grow to make this the best part of their day right and um to enjoy High School sports. The maroon.

And gray connect every day to make their squad flow in a positive way when.

E

You're with a coach for so long, it can kind of get almost like a friendship and we all really have to enforce that. She's the coach and we're not just buddy buddy, all the time like, of course off the field in the classroom. We can be friends and ask her for help, but when we get on the field, it's discipline and she means business.

B

Everyone's just really close and everyone just stays positive. We have a really close connection with our coaching staff, which is super important, so we all just understand each other really well. These.

A

Champions on the field are also winners in the books.

D

I am truly blessed in the sense of I. Really don't have to worry too much about my athletes in the classroom other than telling them sometimes that to relax a little bit. It's going to be fine right, they're very high, achieving for the most part, which is a blessing um because it translates to the field. But it's also a great thing for me as a coach, because I have a lot of pride in that.

B

There's definitely times like on the bus trips. There we'll get some schoolwork done and then we'll just lock in for game time and then, obviously, when we get home, we can knock out some.

E

Schoolwork during school we have broom block, which is basically free period where you can go, see other teachers and it just really encouraged that you go and you see all your teachers and get your homework done, because you're not really going to have time after school to do it. Watch.

Broadneck, girls, lacrosse and you can witness great stamina and Fitness in.

C

The off season I know that I play two other sports track and soccer, so that definitely helps, and then you also have to trade on your own things like running and like conditioning.

E

Working out, I love, five-star, shooting and transition drill, we make it competitive, we have a maroon and a gray team and we do competitions. So in the field house we all get ribbons, and so, at the end of the season who, whatever team has the most ribbons will get a big prize. We.

B

Take stretching really seriously after and before games and then after practices too. So that's really important.

D

Eat food, it's good for you, take care of your body, and then we do do an online Journal as well. We'll ask them to kind of check in on how they feel with their physical health, their mental health, their overall satisfaction. There.

A

Is no lacking good sportsmanship in this lady Bruins lacks family part.

D

Of what we're doing here is teaching them about life, and humility is one of the biggest assets you can have in life. We're competitors.

B

On the field with our opponents, but after we're just friends- and we like to share the game that we love the.

C

Sideline definitely like helps motivate you and then all of us just have good sportsmanship, because that's what we're trained to have when.

E

You're playing against some of your friends, it makes you want to go harder like you want to show them up like I'm, the better one, and then you get off the field, and it's like love. You thanks for pushing me hard. It's just really enjoyable. When you get to play against people, you know girls.

Lacrosse at Broadneck has been on an upward track with their fans. It's.

B

Definitely nerve-wracking, but it's so exciting, to have a fan base like that. So it's just awesome and it definitely makes this experience so much fun. It's.

E

A lot of fun having a huge student section and even like the parents and fans it just makes it the dick of the games, feel bigger.

C

Definitely exciting and it's so motivating just hearing like people around you know that people are watching you. It's just like an incredible feeling. Oh.

D

It's huge, it's like you know, it's like what you hear As you move and progress in sport like it's like uh we talk about it even with our bench right. The players on the field hearing seeing support from anywhere is an additional factor to help them succeed. Thanks.
