Q and A with Miss Malwitz about Girls’ Field Hockey
Q. How many wins did
you have this season and how many losses?
A. We had 1
win, 8 losses, and 1 tie.
Q. What makes a great
team?
A. I think you have to have a good attitude
and never give up, even when you are losing or frustrated. You have to
have confidence and believe that you can win and beat the other team. I
also think you have to practice hard. You cannot just expect to play
well in a game if you don’t work your hardest in practice. And you need
to practice on your own – the only way a team will get better is if each
individual player gets better.
Q. Is there a
championship and if so, have you ever been to it?
A. There is no
championship for field hockey.
Q. When does the team
meet?
A. We have practices or games every
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for the month of September and
October.
Q. Do you have any
advice for girls who want to be on the girls’ field hockey team?
A. Get a stick
and start playing. You don’t need to be on a team or go to a camp
(although that helps!) but just play in your yard or driveway. Find a
friend who wants to play too and pass to one another. You just need to
get used to the stick. And make sure you are in shape – there is a ton
of running in field hockey and you need to have endurance.
Q. Do you teach any
other sport, and if so what sport do you like to coach the most?
A. I have also
coached track and field. They are very different – field hockey is a
team sport while track is mostly individual. I like coaching both teams,
but there is no way to compare them!
