In the fall of 2025, the Girls’ Flag Football Team brought in a school-first five-game win streak which brought them to the championships.
Starting on September 24, 2025, the varsity team entered a winning streak that has yet to end. Without a single point scored against them, the team has proven that their dedication and mindset have truly paid off.
So how did this streak begin? More importantly, is it just a game of skill? Like the title suggests, mindset plays a massive role in the team’s wins, whether that be collective or individual. Almost every week, the team trains wholeheartedly for four hours. Although that may seem insignificant, that’s time away from schoolwork, friends, or even just for themselves. This is one of the many mental talents these girls possess—team dedication. When one person is down, the team and their coaches are able to bring them back up.
No matter how passionate a player can be for their sport, discouragement is inevitable. Samoy agrees, “I have struggled with motivation—but I try to keep going because I know my team counts on me, and I don’t want to disappoint them or my coaches.” This is the perfect example of how a team mindset improves individual performance.
Another quality of these practices also plays a major role in the girls’ success. Even girls new to the team and school can say these practices were critical to their performance. “From warm-ups to gameplay, our practices have been helping me become a better player than I was at the start of the season,” stated Siana Lim. The dedication of the girls’ diligence and the coaches’ experience help bring a stellar team.
