Message: [QUOTE="AllHusky, post: 5335272, member: 6498"] Lack of prior success, lack of confidence, lack of ability all lead to the conditions you describe. The false bravado, being over aggressive, generally trying too hard and so on are the symptoms of those "lacks". Does the program have fear of failure or fear of success? It is a fine line. Those fears sometimes paralyze a player. "Relax and Win" was a great book written by Bud Winter back in the 60's. Studied training of fighter pilots and adapted it to training world class track athletes. Do we expect to win? Do we deserve to win? Are we afraid to lose? Are we good enough? All questions running through the minds of players and coaches alike. Winning those last 2 games would have done alot to create a looser more confident atmosphere. A blowout against "Testicle Tech" next weekend would start the healing. A win in difficult fashion would do nothing to allay those fears. Can't even imagine a loss. [/QUOTE]
