This makes zero sense to even contemplate until 2 weeks before the deadline.
If they go on a 5 game run suddenly they’ll look like studs.
They’ve haven’t found their focus as a team yet, & that focus enables a team to execute an identity.
Focused play requires:
- Them to collectively to be present in each moment of the game (not worry about being down or excited about being up).
- Positive self talk about their individual & collective skills & abilities.
- Composure to be maintain optimal arousal (don’t try to do too much or hesitancy from fear of mistakes).
- Concentration on what matters
- resulting in the Confidence that enables them to play to their abilities.
Whether or not they trust Sutter to still enable this is the biggest question.
