I was glad to see that our pre-game discussion yesterday about being careful not to come out “playing soft” against Grace was heeded. You came out and took care of business early.
There is a danger in sports when players base their focus, output or intensity level on the quality of their opponent. Against weaker opponents, they coast a little. Against the better, more talented teams, they come ready to play. It's a dangerous habit, but it happens at every level in sports.
The best teams are the teams that understand that basketball is 90% mental and only 10% physical. The best teams are the teams that have mental toughness and display that mental toughness on a daily basis regardless of their opponent. They know what their job is and they go out and take care of business… and it doesn’t matter who’s on the court. They go out and do their job and rack up the wins.
