Lady Phoenix Complete First Official Practice of the Season

By: Leslie Spoon
Updated: October 2, 2012
The Lady Phoenix were back at it tonight at the Kress Center. It was an up-tempo first practice full of drills stressing fundamentals, getting back into the swing of things, building endurance and creating team chemistry. A lot of chemistry for that matter with the coaching change. Kevin Borseth returns to the Phoenix as head coach.

Borseth spent the past five seasons as head coach at Michigan, prior to that he was the head honcho at GB for nine seasons. 

So a lot of uncertainty heading into opening day.

"It was a nervous day I think for everybody, I know I was coming into the gym for the first time obviously, I'm sure the players were equally as nervous but they've got a lot of energy and certainly we burned a lot today, it was a good practice", Borseth says. 

You don't know what to expect, you feel kind of like its your freshman year all over again, coming in new staff. If  it would have been the first day of practice when the other coaching staff would have been here I probably would have been able to list off every single drill that we were going to do that day and its just a little unexpected and its that kind of change of pace that its a little exciting", senior Sarah Eichler told us after practice.

Adrian Ritchie, also a senior also welcomes the change.  "Change is good, change is fun, definitely a lot of things he does we've already seen so that really helps. It'd be another thing if this coach came in and said forget everything else, this is my new plan but he's been so good at adjusting and making this transition very possible for all of us because you know we all want the same thing in the end and he's made that very clear that its about Green Bay, its not about him its about the players who make it happen."

 Borseth didn't recruit any of the current crop of Phoenix so he has the task of making them feel like "his" players.

"Probably the most difficult part of the entire transition is the coach to the players and the players to the coach so I think that's probably our biggest competition at this point. We don't know how each others going to adapt to each other during the course of the game and obviously its going to be some new things for both of us. I think we need to just learn to work through it. I've got to be able to do the things that I do in teaching, they've got to be able to do the things that they do in playing and somewhere inbetween we've got to find a happy medium.
