Why is it you only learn when you lose?
Are you frustrated when people don’t take accountability?
Give a little respect to what you are watching
What a game last week (for those of you who watched). Now on to this week, I have 3 topics so let’s get going.
Why is it you only learn when you lose?
I was listening on Saturday morning to the coach’s show and the statement above kept jumping out of the speaker. Coaches always say “We learned a lot from that loss”. What? You never learn when you win? I think when kids, coaches and even you stop learning, you actually stop growing.
Everything is a test in some way. We all learn from our mistakes and trials, but we never say after we won a big one “I learned so much in winning this game tonight”. Think about that a moment.
Moment is up, let’s move on.
Are you frustrated when people don’t take accountability?
This one right here can really drive you crazy. There are players, coaches, teachers and even people who have nothing to do with football that just will not be held accountable for anything.
It is tough to handle these people, but you know where you stand with these individuals. Usually you do as little as possible with or around these folks.
I always read quotes of players when they lose a big game. You can tell a lot about what kind of person they are when they open their mouth. Watch how they respond to questions on the topic of wins and losses.
Give a little respect to what you are watching
If you get a chance to watch an athlete grow up from a kid to a man, you have so much more respect for their skill set.
I have watched Sonny and Rod since they were kids playing this crazy game. But I have always respected the work that went into the product.
A lot of folks can easily draw an opinion of somebody playing, but really have no respect to where they have been or the time it took to get to the spotlight.
It’s kind of like me with videos. People in the beginning have no idea the amount of time that goes into making a highlight video. For every game that I cut to make a video, there are 3.5 hours of work. This web site took a lot of time for my brother to build. The kids who play those 75 to 120 plays on Friday nights put a lot of hours into getting to that snap.
I think fans lose perspective of the work that makes it all go. If you look real close it’s the same people that refuse to learn whether they win or lose. Look closer and you will find that they are never held accountable for anything.
That’s A Wrap
Last game of the regular season is tomorrow night.
We lost a close one last Friday and realized at the end of the day they are beatable. If it all plays out, we could see them again a month from now.
Kickoff is slated for 7:30 @ Wilson Central.
If you see us at Wildcat field give a shout or a wave. Until next week.
God bless and Take Care.
