WELCOMING NEW PLAYERS Gorjok Gak, graduate student, is one of the new additions to the basketball team. Teambuilding days like these help him feel more unified with the rest of the team.

What are the coaches and players doing to ensure teamwork and cooperation within this new team?

How are players that were on the team last year adapting to this change?

“Since we got a lot of new members on the team we’re just making sure we are attacking each day with a great mindset. We are understanding that we are going to have to keep learning and growing every day.”

“We spend a lot of time together on and off the floor. It didn’t take us long to build good team chemistry. The coaches take pride in recruiting good character so the transition with new guys isn’t hard whatsoever.”
