Despite her recent ability to bounce back from  injuries, Mühl thinks the group will overcome any weariness from a demanding season.

“We’re in really good shape physically,” she remarked. It would be absurd to deny that having injured players for the entire stretch will have a mental toll on us. However, the coach is really understanding and continues to hold us accountable, increasing our need to persevere.

“Even if we’re too exhausted to give it our all physically and mentally right now, our coach is keeping us together and providing us with comfort.” We’ve been supporting one another. He has been standing up for us, and now we are standing up for him. We’ll overcome this.
