And I think that we should take our skills that we have learned from being a part of a team which is super valuable to whatever we do next as well . Uh Circling back to the national championship , um I was gonna ask , what's it gonna take for us to do again ? What should we avoid ?
So I think it's just about collecting different experiences throughout the year and using them to our benefit at the end . And I think also just reminding ourselves that winning a national championship doesn't mean we have to be undefeated . And I think like returning as national champions , everyone might have this expectation , whether it's the players or , you know , fans or , you know , haters on volley talk .
Like , I feel like I just wanted to add to that last and now Coleman MCD . Uh , yeah , but , um , yeah , but considering we won the national championship last year , I kinda wanna touch on that a little . Um , obviously you two were very major , major role players in that , in that tournament run .
Yeah , I would say it's just like we have to work twice as hard , um , team . We're always gonna have a target on our back as , as UCL A and that target just doubled in size because we won the national championship . Um , but one thing that bra said that really resonated last year was it's gonna hit the fan and you have to find , you have to battle through that and just come out , come out on top like it's always gonna hit the fans something's gonna go wrong eventually .
So I wanted to invest that back into them . And then also just , I wanted to win a national championship , like I said , and I think he said it was the best spot to do that . And our coach being the Olympic coach and the , the people on the team already and the recruits and the culture , I just think it was something that I could not be a part of .
