The Maple Lake Irish volleyball team finished the 2013 season with a record of 24-10, earning the Central Minnesota Conference title and the Section 5AA titles. This year, the team plans to accomplish nothing less than last year and hopefully a lot more.
From the beginning, head coach Marty Kiebel spoke about everyone being a teammate, reacting to situations and accepting roles to benefit the entire team.
“A lot of how we do or become successful is how we react to how the season unfolds and if the kids can really accept and embrace their roles,” Kiebel said.
For this team, goals can mean many things – not only the big wins but also the little victories in practice or personal achievements. The team knows that what happens between teammates and in the gym will reflect on their record and accomplishments.
“I think a big goal for every coach is that you keep kids excited for the sport and that they want to practice hard and support each other every day,” Kiebel said.
