Pushing Towards Change


 
Central’s volleyball team has had a few hard seasons in recent years. This year they are pushing towards change. Already they have proven that they are moving forward as they beat last year’s record. The previous season ended with a single win for the Lady Tigers. This year the team of thirteen girls has already secured two wins inspiring a new confidence. A major change that has been influential in the team’s current success is the new face in the position of coach. In the last couple of years there have been a few new coaches of the women’s volleyball team. This year Christina Ludwig has taken over the job and so far has been doing a phenomenal job. “Christina is extremely motivated, she’s very good at what she does… she cares about us and she wants us to succeed” says libero, Kathryn Lott.  Captain Brittany Bergstrom was chosen at the beginning of the year by the coach and is also new to the team. The ladies themselves have seen a major improvement in their skills as a whole.  There is more focus and they feel that this year they have the ability to go much further than last year. One of the more prominent challenges they face is finishing strong. Since last year the team dynamic has changed quite a bit. Senior Jessica Massie states, “There are usually little circles within circles and this year there’s not.” Overall the team is looking very different and we are anxious to see what the season has in store for them.
