Stop Acting Like Adults!

Posted by Koko

I have a theory about our woes on the field lately. Please note that I am NOT addressing this to any one person or singling anyone out. I love all you guys. I just think that we have begun to lose site of the real reason we go out every week and play ball.

Last week I said that we behaved like children. I was incorrect. Our problem is that we've been acting way too much like serious adults. We need to start acting more like kids.

Of course we all want to win. Winning is fun! And every single one of us gives 100% to try and help the team win. But when winning becomes more of a relief and losing is a catastrophy, it could be time to take some personal inventory. It is softball, and it's suppose to be a stress reliever from the work week.

We need to start having fun again guys . . . Win or Lose!

I think that probably the worst thing that could have happened is us winning that championship for our recent play. We were never a perfect team and always made mistakes. It seems now that every mistake is magnified to the highest degree, which leads to us playing tight and making more mistakes. There is a lot of season left. Let's finish off strong

I see your point Reger, but I'd hate to think winning is a bad thing.

We just now expect to win all the time. And that's not the reality. We don't practice or play in big tournaments, we all work 40 plus hours a week and just look to have fun playing a ball game on Friday. And of course try our absolute best to win. But when we don't, we should just forget about it and have a beer at Gators.

I didn't mean that i didn't love winning the championship, because I did. The problem is that once that happens. expectations are heightened to the extreme and I don't think we thrive under those conditions.

Koko said...

Right, no I totally got your point. It just sucks how that happens.

Humans are so stoopid!

I don't know if I can make it tonight.

You know, with having to hug every tree I see on the road.
