LEXIE WOHLFORT

A season of firsts.
.
First @unitedgridleague season as a coach
First season for the @nywolveshq
First rookie expansion team to make it to playoffs
First team to have a player ejected from the Grid 🤣
First match to have both teams not finish the Sprint Relay 😅
.
Some firsts are better than others. And I could also go off to list the individual firsts of each and every athlete on this team. (Like HELLO - so many people stepped up and learned new skills they didn’t think possible!)
.
Did we want to take it all? Absolutely. Who doesn’t?
But what was more important to me was the learning we all did along the way.
.
I was elected Coach of the Year - but I feel like my growth has only just begun. I’m learning and growing with every chance I get and every chance this team will give me.
.
I’ll admit, I started with false confidence, putting on a brash air that I knew it all and could handle it myself. But in reality, I was insecure. I was trying to “prove myself” when I really didn’t have to. There’s a difference between demanding and commanding a team. I learned that quickly after our first match and continued to keep myself in check with the help of my captains, @mrosa516 and @karaceleste. To say I couldn’t have done it without them is an understatement.
.
And holy hell, thank you to @jennpowers_wolf for supporting me and the team. She may be behind the scenes most of the time, but she has supported everyone in ways that we’ll never fully understand. She made sure our heads were in the game and we could focus on what truly mattered - the pack and the match at hand.
.
So I’m proud of what we accomplished, but I know that there is so much more to be done. I’m going to keep growing. I know this family we’ve created will keep growing. And we look forward to taking that trophy next year 😜

WOLVES ON THREE. 1…2…3… 🐺
