[FONT=Times New Roman]At first glance, this question appears so basic and so easy to answer as to appear almost laughable. Many coaches are much more interested in discussing the need to commit the necessary practice intensity, time, blood, sweat and tears in individual and team practice sessions to give them the right to play for a championship, but as we will discuss, this is not nearly as important or difficult as truly committing to a championship run emotionally. All the players like to wear [FONT=宋]Nfl jersey [/FONT]in training. Well what’s the difference? [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]There are literally hundreds of different ways to dissect a championship team. We can look at overall speed, agility, quickness and raw athletic power, defensive ability, game time offensive and defensive execution, shooting ability, passing, rebounding, ability to perform in the clutch, and the list goes on and on. I believe in stripping things down to their most basic form, and as important as each of the aforementioned elements are in their contribution to a championship season, there is a basic question that must first be answered by each athlete individually, and by each team collectively.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Many coaches will just be pleased with athletes that will physically commit close to 100%, because truth be told, just that type of commitment alone is not always common. But intensity alone does not win championships. Athletes who have decided that they TRULY care about playing for a championship will also take care of the INTANGIBLES that are critical for championships. Almost all of them like . These athletes lead better, they hold each other accountable in practice and in games vs. always relying on the coach to make corrections, they ask more questions about the offensive plays and defensive sets, they flat out care more, and they flat out find more ways to win.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]So what’s my point? To emotionally commit to something is to put our self-esteem on the line, feeling the potential for damage and emotional pain if we do not succeed and come up short, suffering the anguish of realizing we are not all we thought we were. Many athletes will give you 100% practice and game intensity and yet you will never know that they have not emotionally committed to a goal of a championship, and this is one of the most misunderstood concepts in sports and our overall understanding of how the mediocre mind vs. the mind of a champion operates.

[FONT=Times New Roman]The primary goal of our mind is to preserve life. Put someone in a room that is on fire, and all of a sudden the need to eat, brush your hair, wash, play basketball, expand your knowledge through education, or anything else, becomes relatively unimportant. And so in this instance, the mind makes it a primary priority to get the heck out of that room. They all have [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#22229c]nfl throwback jerseys[/COLOR][/FONT]. For the mind, a close second to life preservation, is preserving the self-esteem. Unlike the body, which can at times heal itself, the mind’s self-esteem has no such function when damaged, and damaged self-esteem left unchecked leads to depression and ultimately total dysfunction.
