Winning at All Costs

 

Gamers coaches and directors are very competitive, driven people.  We care a lot about success.  And, we care about teaching players how to be successful.  Winning is not our only definition of success.  We would rather lose a game that we played very well in, compared to winning a game in which we played poorly.   We care about winning, but we are not a "win at all cost" program, meaning:

• Practice and development will not be sacrificed to win
• Players' physical health will not be put into jeopardy
• Style of play (playing the game the right way) will not be sacrificed to win
• Individual players self-confidence or passion for the game will be not sacrificed to win

If we play the right level of competition, our teams should win between 50-75% of games.  That is a comfortable range.  Sometimes you learn more from losing than you do from winning. 

 

Our focus is on teaching players how to win.  And, we have a very simple formula for that which will be covered in next post.  

 

Thank you.
