Being able to score the basketball has never been a problem for Garden Plain’s Reese Stuhlsatz, but now she is hoping to become a more complete player.
“This season I would love to play better defensively,” Stuhlsatz said. “During off season practices and games I have tried to be more mindful of my defensive game and worked on those skills.”
While Stuhlsatz averaged 11 points per game last season, there are still offensive areas she wants to improve. If she does those things, she’s also hopeful for a bigger team goal, too.
“My individual goals this year are improving my free throw percentage and my perimeter game,” Stuhlsatz said. “A team goal I would love to accomplish this year is to win the league and make it to the state tournament would be awesome as well. One game at a time. I am excited about the upcoming season because we have several returning starters and we also have some new talent from our younger classes.”
Not only did Stuhlsatz work on her game over the summer, but she also spent time trying to become a better athlete.
“During the off seasons I have attended basketball camps and played some summer tournaments,” Stuhlsatz said. “I also think strength training is very important so I spend a lot of time in the weight room during off seasons.”
