About this episode

Head coach Naomi Tellez discusses the challenges of the spring sports season and the emphasis on mental toughness for the Bearcats.

As one of the northern most schools in the MIAA, an early February start to the spring sports season can cause havoc with outdoor practice and non-conference schedule, but that's not affecting head coach Naomi Tellez and the Bearcats. Tellez put an emphasis on mental toughness during the off-season, and it's already paying off through the first weekend of games.
