Obviously, I thought that we were very close this year, but nothing is going to alter what our approach has been in terms of trying to continue to improve and keep building.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, I do think that we are very close, obviously felt really good about this season, but fell short. We’re going to stay committed and stay committed to the process.”<\/p>\n
