Their male coach expected little from his "ladies, " and their mediocre performance convinced them he was right.Then a kind of miracle happened.

The girls hated it, but their coach never let up. Tough and determined, she showed them what it felt like to be winners--and they loved it. As the momentum grew with a string of victories, the girls thrived on the competition, believing they had the right stuff to become champions.They were right!
