Every member of the water polo team will abide by these rules and procedures:
Stats can be valuable, and they are kept for a reason; however, the stats do not tell the entire story, and it is not something we should be overly concerned about.
It is important to keep playing smart.
Have the vision to pass to the open driver.
Take the high percentage shot.
Work together as a team.
It does not matter if you shoot and miss,
as long as it is a smart/high percentage shot.
If I feel that we are becoming too focused on the stats themselves then I will no longer allow access to view the file.
