Hey Duke nation!

Summer session two is in full effect and that means that the season is that much closer! We finally have the entire squad back together and we have been working super hard. The new freshmen are fitting in quite well and really coming along. They are really showing their personalities and I can't wait for you guys to get to know them like we are.

The returners have come back with a focus and energy that definitely has made me pick up my focus and energy, which I didn't even think was possible.

We started this session with a new strength and conditioning coach, Ashleigh Beaver. She's been amazing and has been pushing us these last couple weeks. And I have definitely seen a change in us. We also had our first team work out this week and there were a lot of positives to take out of it. I can't wait until we can start practicing for real in the fall!

This summer has a very different feel from last summer, maybe it is because I finally get to suit up this season! I have been counting down the days since school ended in the spring. Every day is a day for us to get better as a team and we have been getting better!

Go Duke!
