She’s checking any ego she has at the door, but she’s also going to stay true to her game. It’s worked for her so far, and now it will be up to Hagen to see how she sees it fits best for the Rams.
“I think we’ve definitely been trying to push ourselves out of our comfort zone and when we play small sided, we try to organize it so everybody is not always playing their same position,” Armstrong said. “We try to make it to where everyone tries different positions so then you have the experience of everything. With a new coach, you never know if that coach is going to want you at the position you were playing before.
“I think it’s going to be difficult, because I have no idea what my role is, but I’m going in with the headspace of I’m going to try my best, do my best and be myself. Hopefully she likes the way I am as a player, the way I play and who I am as a teammate. Hopefully that works. I don’t plan on changing anything in specific.”
For Hagen, this mixed bag of emotions the team is feeling is both positive and negative, but she is not oblivious to the fact they are heading into a challenging switch.
She’s been pretty direct about her expectations and standards, and the fact the team has embraced them is a good start, but the work on the pitch will be the true measure. She’s trying to be clear on things to remove any negative connotations.
“Yes, because whenever there is new, I think it keeps people on a little more of a high alert and less complacent, which is really positive,” Hagen said. “The no would be they know certain standards at this point need to be met, and you perform better when you know what to expect. After report day, they’re going to have a clearer idea of here’s what we’re looking for you to do soccer wise. When it comes to training environment, it’s going to be getting used to my style, our style, and that will happen very quickly. We need everybody to be training on their edge all the time.”
Asked how her summer has gone, Armstrong replied with lots of running. Blach concurred. Because there is three days of fitness testing early in camp, and all of them understand it will not be run-of-the-mill stuff. They’ve had it before, to be sure, but not at such a volume.
The player’s approach has been it is best to be prepared, just the way they attacked knowing they will be tested on the most basic of the technical skills.
They’re pretty sure they can anticipate some of what is coming. The rest of it, they’ll wait and see. Hagen doesn’t want them to be anxious about it, because the preconceived notion is the word conjures up worrying. It’s hard to play loose and sound if tied in knots.
Eager, yes. Curious is fine, too.
“I think it’s a little bit of both. I think it’s nice to have some unknowns, but it’s also scary, because we don’t know what to look forward to and what not to look forward to,” Armstrong said. “I think a fresh start is really good for us right now.”
Not fresh as in, let’s move the season to the spring and cut the schedule to 10 games. Fresh as in the program is ready for the dawning of a new era of where new means possibilities are endless.
On Aug. 3, the sun is supposed to rise into the Fort Collins skies at 5:59 a.m. A minute later, the Rams will hit the pitch, presented with the opportunity to really make it a brand new day.
