Sam’s address
"Part of what my job has been in my two years so far is not just to show our players and staff the direction we are going, but it's also to bring all of you along, the members and fans, along for the journey," Coach Sam Mitchell said.
"For us the plan has been really clear, we've spent a lot of time thinking about it and developing it, and now we are in the execution phase."
