Crystal Dunn

And I think that is an incredible thing to see, especially, I mean, she's quite young, too.

I mean, we talk about a lot of young players, but Jaden Shaw is quite young.

And she has so much potential to keep building on where it is that she is now.

And, you know, to me, I think she's a really big, big part of them scoring goals and creating goal scoring opportunities.

I am going to piggyback off of what you said, because if we're just speaking about where they are right now, Soph has obviously subbed into her first game, getting minutes.

She's on the verge of being ready, potentially called into next camp if she's consistently playing some minutes moving forward.

So I agree with what you're saying.

I think...

Mal, with all her star power, how incredible she is, cutting in, using her right foot, I mean, left foot, right foot, clinical on both feet.

The form that Alyssa's in right now, it's like it can't be ignored.

She's doing such incredible things for both club and country, so you can't necessarily remove that off the pitch right now.

So, yeah, I would agree with what you're saying.

Yeah.

I mean, yeah, I think to Jeff's point, I think success is having an identity and being okay building on that and knowing it's not going to be perfect and understanding that the league is also very challenging.

It's challenging for teams that have found success historically in it.

It is really like you have to show up on that given day and kind of build on that and take it day by day.

So I think for me, it's about forming that identity, having that belief in your players to –

you know also be themselves and create in a way that is authentic to them because the last thing you want to do as a coach is also especially a new coach coming into this league is demanding excellence from day one you know these are a lot of these players are not have not been in the nbsl before so it's all new for everybody and i think you know it is about probably trying to be as disruptive as possible like i would love for boston to just be like we don't know what

necessarily we are going to be later down the road, but we're going to disrupt teams.

Like we're going to let teams know who have, you know, found success in years prior.
