Why So Different??

Hard to play with an albatross of a game plan hanging around your neck.

May as well asked them to play in chain mail.

Gameplan shouldn't come into the equation.  Nor emotions.

Effort is mandatory.

Ignoring the fact that players were not trying because of any factor other than the senior coach is sticking your head in the sand.

@Carrots, I think you'll find I get it, but am not understanding why, effort is conditional.  I got taught to compartmentalise my feelings so when the pressure is on, you can deal.with it.  Work at work.  Family at home and never the twain shall impact each other, and that way performance in either department doesn't suffer.

Nick Graham showed effort.  Cripps,  Judd.  Some of the others though just failed to even try.
