Here is a tennis season recap from Coach Dufresne:
The 2023 Bronc Tennis season has come to a close. One of the mantras we discussed with the players all year was respecting the moment, finding joy in the process - even when you fall short of the desired result. The season in its entirety must be respected, not just the wins and losses.
For there are wins to be found getting stuck in a rain delay and having the Patagonia Outlet open the story early for the team. There are wins to be found among a group of players staggering on a bus at 6:00 in the morning after a 15 hour day of tennis and travel. There are wins to be found walking onto a tennis court for the first time, for your first match. There are wins to be found in losing out at divisional, but still going to state to root on your teammates. There are wins to be found taking a risk and going out for a sport you have never played. There are wins to be found in a team dinner, in a teammate making the entire divisional team homemade oreos, in a congratulatory hug or smiles, and a consoling hug of tears.
Part of the entirety of a season includes the people you end up on the journey with, most notably parents and assistant coaches.
I must tip my hat to Patrick Hanley and Christina Weidkamp. Their contribution was paramount to the season’s joys and successes. Coach Hanley is a tactician and can discuss tennis nuances to a level I don’t even pretend to know. The time and effort he put in this year as a volunteer coach simply blew my mind. Coach Weidkamp brought tremendous calmness, excellent doubles knowledge, and a quiet desire to succeed to the team. She also graciously stayed for every JV practice. Both coaches, above all, loved this team; they simply wanted the best for its players. I can’t thank them enough for what they meant to the season.
I also want to thank the parents for entrusting your children with me. Nothing is more important than our kids, and we simply want the best for them. From the help with senior recognition to the tailgate barbecue at a match to the team dinner to your presence at matches, your quiet calm and encouragement throughout the season meant the world to me. I certainly was far from perfect, but even through the mistakes, I always felt supported. Your attitude and assistance absolutely made the season better for everyone involved.
Finally, I would like to thank the players. I couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of student athletes. Fears, flaws, and all, you were simply top notch. You treated your teammates and coaches with respect and opened your minds to a culture of gratitude. You never stopped trying to improve. That’s really all a coach can ask.
After a quarter century of coaching, I find I value nothing more than relationships - with players, coaches, and parents. Based on that metric, the most important metric, the season was a resounding success.
Thank you all for being a part of a magical year. My first year as a head coach; 48 players coming out. From the JV meet at Polson where nearly every player got their first match play to watching a senior give everything they had to stay alive in the tournament to hugging a state champion minutes after everything he had worked so hard for became reality, the journey was remarkable. It was chock full of wins. And losses - tears, anger, frustration, disappointment. Such is the nature of sport, and life.
But mostly I shall remember the laughter; I shall remember the smiles. It really was a great year.
