Elena Lovato says it is all about recruiting.
The two-time national champion head coach of the Trinity Valley Community College women’s basketball team was featured in a story this past weekend in the Albuquerque (N.M.) Journal. Lovato hails from New Mexico.
Lovato said:
“I think recruiting is huge; getting really good kids that you can relate to and take care of and they come in and take care of you. My success, I believe, is because I really, truly and genuinely care about my kids. And they see that and play really hard for me. When you can get 12 kids to buy into something and buy into you and they run through a wall for you, it’s fun to watch. I’ve got girls playing like boys, running through walls, diving on the floor, and they’re very passionate about what they’re doing. It’s been fun to see these kids grow.”
