Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 1969798, member: 6158"] Sadly. that is the best summary I have seen this year and I think we all are hoping for it to somehow end. When the seniors fail to show any consistent leadership by example it is harder for the younger players to "get it" and their is always breakdowns. At a certain point they have to "impose their will" against opponents. They have to believe they are capable of doing this, especially as a team that picks each other up. Belief and will go hand in hand. I'm not sure if it's me but I don't remember players in the past [B]reacting against every single call that a ref makes when it doesn't go their way. Sometimes on a really bad call, yes.[/B] But the looks of disbelief. sarcastic smiles etc. on nearly every call that goes against Purvis or Brimah for example kind of puts the game into the officials hands instead of focusing on their own mistakes and not letting it get to you. Strength of will comes from within, not what is going your way outside of you. I don't want to pick on RP or AB because I think they bleeds blue but so many of the upper classmen lack that calm but sure confidence. [/QUOTE]
