Quote:You can't answer a simple yes/no. Having intense weeks of practices, and thinking you're more prepared is a different conversation then the game. There are different thigs from week to week you do to try and motivate yourself, and your team. That's the nature of the beast.

 

I played for 16 years, and have coached/coaching another 14. Played in, and coached in some big games. Kids perform on the field to the best of their ability. They don't play harder based on who it is.
