Like three days or until you don’t feel like it, so I think you’re better off making resolutions for today," Auriemma said. "Like ‘Today I want to do this.’ Or maybe go for a week. ... I think that’s more appropriate for us, and for me personally...” Senior Katie Lou Samuelson said Auriemma’s take on resolutions came as a bit of a surprise because he didn’t mention them in her past three years with UConn, but that it makes sense because this year’s team has been avoiding looking toward the end of the season. “His big speech today was we need to make day-by-day resolutions instead of trying to plan out something for the rest of the year," Samuelson said. "He kind of showed us we need to come in every day with a goal for practice, and if it doesn’t happen fix it and do it the next day. So rather than something for a long time, focusing on day-by-day because once you don’t hit that big goal it feels like the end of the world so if you set little goals each day stuff happens.” [/QUOTE]
