With this year’s Lady Moors physically and mentally ready, they aim to have a successful preseason by practicing diligently. With nine seniors leaving this past season, the new varsity players have a different perspective from the intensity of junior varsity and varsity.

“In JV, practices weren’t as stressful because [of] Coach Tiffany. Coach Tiffany is known for her relaxed and funny personality, and it really shows through during practices. In JV, we developed a bond as friends because we all share laughs and jokes from time to time. In varsity, it’s a different story, with [Head Coach] Charles [Tran] coaching us we […] have the responsibility to ourselves to not fool around and we need to train with great effort and with the correct mentality,” junior libero Carol Chen said.

While it is only preseason and the Moors have a record of 1-3, Tran is using this preseason to help the team out in order to have a successful Almont League.

“Preseason is a good time to see which groups of players works best. The main goal of the preseason is to make progress and be ready for league. We constantly work on fundamentals during practice. The [three] elements that make a good practice are being prepared mentally and physically, being self-disciplined, and giving [the] best effort you are capable of. The girls work hard and [this upcoming season should be very exciting],” Tran said.

With Tran being confident in his team, and with all the extra practices he’s put in into the Lady Moors throughout the summer and the beginning of school, the Moors attempt to take one team at a time while progressively getting better in order to have a successful league season.
