Today they played to their ability. They stepped up. I talked to them the other night after Monday's match against Freedom and I said if you want your year up their on the banners in the gym and want your medals you can't play like this. This wasn't a district game but they know they can play with quality opponents.
More Quotes from Marianne Bretschneider:
We need to keep working in practice. At the beginning of the year my singles didn't click and now my doubles don't click. I thought that No. 1 doubles did OK. I don't know if they put too much pressure on themselves or if I put too much pressure on them, but it is just not coming together right now.Marianne Bretschneider
In the past I've always gotten frustrated because I've seen other teams step up during the season. I knew yesterday this wasn't the same team that played Battlefield at the start of the season. They had played much better than they have in the past.

Courtney was right we really do need to work on ball placement. For a while when I talked to my kids my big thing was I want you to spend these next two games working on letting them make the mistakes. I do want them to work on control and placement. It just comes down to what they utilize what they do in practice and remembering and not fiddle-farting around and laughing and giggling. I want them to really focus and know what they can take into a match. I want them to have game plans, I want them to know what they are going to do when they go into a match.

It's just getting them to play this strong in back-to-back games.

I've had losses. But I'd probably go through this and not feel as bad about the situation if I knew my kids left everything out there on the court, but they haven't done that this week. I've been trying to tell them 'you need to be focused.' This isn't how my girls play tennis.
