UNB - Women's Basketball: Finding my Inner Ninja
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2013/03/finding-my-inner-ninja.html
Thursday, March 7, 2013. Finding my Inner Ninja. Last year Barb presented us with a poster of a baseball field. The distance from home to first was the preseason, first to second was November-December, and second to third was January-February. Third base to the plate was the post season. We were tagged out at third. This year we overran first and rounded second. We tapped the bag at third and (I’ve been waiting a whole year to say this) now, boys and girls, we’re coming home. This year has been a struggl...

UNB - Women's Basketball: September 2012
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 28, 2012. This Saturday is Canada Basketball’s Basketball Coaches Day in Canada. It “is a national celebration of our Canadian basketball coaches and all the time, dedication and passion that they contribute to our sport through the year”. Teams and organizations across the country have been encouraged to find ways to recognize their coaches for all that they give. Well, UNB has given me this soapbox so you’d better bet I’m going to stand on it. Had they hurt me I probably wouldn’...

UNB - Women's Basketball: Seniors Night
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2013/02/seniors-night.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2013. I had a moment last Friday in UPEI when, during a timeout of the men’s game, the announcers took a moment to congratulate Mel and me for finishing our fifth year. It just sort of hit me. I’ll never play there again (and thanks for the shoutout – you stay classy UPEI). Sunday is our Seniors Night (the game is at 1:00 – does that make it Seniors Day? Come check us out this weekend as we play MUN, Saturday at 6:00 and Sunday at 1:00. Posted by UNB Varsity Reds.

UNB - Women's Basketball: October 2012
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 28, 2012. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Those words are hung up in my locker, they're the first thing written on my "Inspirations" page in my play book, and they're what have kept me going over the last week. I know this blog is about more than just me, but I think that everyone feels this way sometimes so I hope it's okay if I talk about myself for a bit. Posted by UNB Varsity Reds. Sunday, October 14, 2012. This weekend we’re at the...

UNB - Women's Basketball: January 2012
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. The Road to The Cape. As a write this we’re on the road. We’re travelling to Sydney, NS for a double header against Cape Breton. I’ve never done the drive, but apparently it's about 9 hours. When we get there it will be the farthest East I’ve ever been. Our trips are different. We’ve been to Halifax, Montreal, Charlottetown and Antigonish. We’ve had busses with plugs for laptops and even some with wi-fi. The bus we’re on right now has skylights and hardwood floors. There is so...

UNB - Women's Basketball: December 2012
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. The second: what inspires you? Ive played on enough teams to know that what we have now is something special. The chemistry on this team isnt something that you find everywhere. Its not something that most teams have. On this day that celebrates renewal all I know is how lucky I am to be a part of a team that makes me smile and laugh every day. If you want to see some of my favourite pictures of the team from 2012 click the jump (Read More) below. Posted by UNB Varsity Reds.

UNB - Women's Basketball: Shoot For The Cure
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2013/02/shoot-for-cure.html
Friday, February 1, 2013. Shoot For The Cure. Playing basketball has given me an incredible series of opportunities. It has taken me to all but one province, and several trips through the US. It has helped pay for school, given me summer employment, and given me skills that would take me infinite time to write. Today, however, basketball gives me something way more valuable. Basketball allows me to take the game I love use and it to help unite my community. We are united by all kinds of things. Some ...

UNB - Women's Basketball: February 2012
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. I had a conversation with a friend a few weeks ago after his season ended. I asked him if we were crazy for putting so much of our happiness and mental wellbeing into a game. He replied that yes, it is crazy, but we can’t help it because that’s just who we are. In some ways, it seems totally surreal. Seven months ago did I really pack up my life and move across the country to play in a gym I’d never seen with a bunch girls I hadn’t met? Or when we were in Moncton and Claire, Ka...

http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. On Monkeys and Insanity. I need to start this post with a tremendous thank you for everyone's kind words regarding my last post. To everyone who tweeted, emailed, shared my post and to friends who told me that they enjoyed it - thank you very much. I am touched, humbled, and flattered by your kindness. Thank you for filling my bucket. Let me be really clear: losing sucks. It sucks. We know that our season isn't off to a great start but we aren't giving up. We will get creat...

UNB - Women's Basketball: Return of the old, arrival of the new
http://unbwbball.blogspot.com/2013/09/return-of-old-arrival-of-new.html
Thursday, September 26, 2013. Return of the old, arrival of the new. Late August saw the arrival of the Vred Women Ballers, the fresh and the old. We came together as a whole team for the first time early September. However, we won’t mention how one player almost didn’t make it to UNB, as Coach Speedy forgot to pick her up from Freddy airport at 2.30 in the morning… Okay I wont keep you guessing, I was this lucky person. I think Coach Speedy loved being a kid a little more than us here! Next we headed to...
