Wichita Northwest’s Jaycee Schur is eager to see her team grow together this season, combining hard work and a shared commitment to improve.
“What I am most excited about in the upcoming season is working hard with my team to improve, share a common goal, and achieve personal goals while also winning games,” Schur said. “This year we have a lot of seniors who have been playing for the team making that one of our key values is players that work well together and have been learning and improving throughout the three going on four years.”
Schur stays active in the offseason to maintain fitness and prevent injuries, giving her an edge when the season begins.
“During the offseason, I play soccer, which helps me work other parts of my body that I don’t normally use during the basketball season making me less injury prone,” Schur said. “During the summer I’m mostly active every day working on staying in shape and keeping fit.”
With personal goals for growth as both a player and a leader on the team, Schur is ready to accomplish them both.
“One area that I would like to improve this season is being a team leader, helping my teammates improve, while also improving myself,” Schur said. “I love to be a team player and seeing my teammates score and succeed makes me want to keep playing and give it my all.”
