It's the teams that play through the stuff they can't control and overcome it instead of placing blame and giving excuses that end up winning the championship.
I totally agree with you. EVERY team has to overcome setbacks, that is the nature of the game. When you lose, learn from it and move on, don't try to justify it with excuses. Face the fact that on that day, for whatever reason, the other team was better. We are not helping kids by providing excuses when they dont succeed. Remember, the real reason high school athletics are so great is because of the life lessons they teach our kids, not for adults to live vicariosly through them in search of some lost glory. There are lessons to be learned with every loss and every win. Teaching our kids to justify every setback will not benefit them in the real world, because that is simply not how life works.
We plan and God laughs.
