Defensive Effort B
Biggest Strength
Can lead by example with her attendance, effort, and willingness to be coached.Helps the team by bringing quiet but steady energy—ready to jump into drills and do her job.As she gains confidence, she can start talking more on the floor (calls, matchups, encouragement).Her improvement story (new to the game, already growing) can inspire other newer players to stick with it.
Goal
As a returner, she can set the tone by showing younger players what varsity work and focus look like.Her voice is desperately needed—calling actions, matchups, switches, and helping organize both offense and defense.Can lead by example by getting in extra work on her shot and handles, then letting that show up in games.If she embraces being louder and more aggressive, she can become a key two-way presence who changes the feel of the floor when she’s out there.

"Ari’s job is to show up every day ready to learn, play hard, and do the simple things right—run the floor, rebound, defend, and take good shots with her improved form. She helps the team by bringing consistent effort, being coachable, and growing her understanding of our offense and defense so she can reliably do her role when her number is called."
