It’s been a good week for the Arizona Wildcats. They all needed it.
Before Thursday’s game, first-year head coach Rita Stubbs gave her players goals she wanted them to meet. She had a special one for junior middle blocker Alayna Johnson, who has been struggling with her confidence lately. What was it?
“Be happy,” Johnson said.
Stubbs asked Johnson to share that goal with her teammates before the game. She wanted them to hold each other accountable for those goals.
“I would say I’ve been kind of a downer lately, mainly in practices, and especially this week just with all the losses,” Johnson said.
