He is the hottest show in Orlando'sfirst grades! (Totally an unbiased observation.)
It's after Midnight. Normal bed time is 9:30. Can't sleep. We got beat tonight. Got spanked by Western Washington University, 20 points. I really thought we were ready for them - lead at half time. Looked good the first half. Then fell apart. What do I tell them at our next team devotional?
"Well, it is just a game. No big deal." Not! Thousands of hours have gone into preparation for this game and for the rest this season. "No big deal," would be like a business man saying the same after he had lost a very profitable vender. Not. He would dig and search out the reasons he lost the deal. So also must these players after the loss tonight.
How can I learn from this - basketball skills and personal character qualities? How can this loss be turned into ultimate gain? How would you answer that? (We have another game Saturay night and my next team devotional is on Monday.
