John Swickrath Season Quotations

I wanted to see what kind of attitudes they had. They knew they were going to sweat and they were going to be tired. It wasn't easy but it wasn't that hard ... If you want to see the view we saw at the top of the mountain, then this is the mountain we have to climb this season and I saw the reaction I wanted to see. Other than the guys that were sore from the night before, they were pretty gung-ho about it.

I think we are on the right track right now. We are a competitive ball club. I think we can salvage our season and I think as long as we play well enough to get into the (ODAC) tournament there isn't a team that scares me.

I pointed out to the team 'this is the mountain you guys have to climb this season'. Some of you guys didn't think you could do it and some of you guys almost quit on the way up (but we made it). It is tough but this is how our season is.
