THE COACH’ SCORNER
Games are LOST. Not Won, Maybe
You can be synoptic about this idea, that games are lost and
not won, but we ^1 like to be T.V. quarterbacks and we all
would lose much of the fun we get from watching the games on
television if we didn’t feel the what if he did this or that
instead. Anyway, Phil Simms proved the better quarterback
on Sunday" s Super Bowl game, twenty-two passes completed
outof twenty-five was phenomenal. Missing two field goals by
Kariis simply stopped the Denver roll and they had a mental
let-down. Kariis simply should not use the hip type of swing
kick from the side, he should use the “Lou Groza type” of
hinge kick from straight on, thus prohibiting the pulling or
pushing the kick off center. Anyway, all sports are a
continuing learning, forgetting and a constant relearning
process. However, even in golf you can try too hard and push
or pull your drives, if you try too hard your body will not turn
enough and that will make you pull your shot. If you are too
relaxed your swing will go outside of the plane and slice. To
get that happy medium of a grooved swing takes
concentration.
“Mind-set” the wrong way can cause loosing. Navratolva
lost the Australian Women’s Tennis Championship by
thinking she had to tate every net on serve, both 1st and 2nd.
Mandialovka knew she was coming in so she had to make her
returns just hard enough for Martina to miss. Woody Hayes
was guilty of the wrong “mind-set” when he made his
football team at Ohio State run every play into the line.
Mu'higan knew what was coming and so they stopped him. He
eiiaed up riding home on the bus all by himself they were so
m:;d at him. Wrong mind set can happen in basketball when a
team stays in a zone when the other team scores constantly
fn.;m the outside. All court games in most sports causes the
opponents to think and it usually stops their momentum.
