Over the past year I’ve spent some time off and on thinking about a phrase Pruitt often uses when talking about our football team. “We need to play the right way.”

I suppose many people would say he’s talking about effort, consistency, discipline, competitive drive, and things like that and while those intangibles are absolutely necessary, I think there is a larger overarching concept that he may have in his sights.

Teamwork is an important aspect of cultivating a winning football team. The positive bonds formed between players through teamwork help to improve the performance of the team and sustain camaraderie when losses occur.

Members of a team work together as one in order to win games. A single player’s weaknesses are lessened when he is part of a good team. When players work well together as a group, they form a positive bond that improves team performance. By contrast, players who do not work well together tend to reduce the success of their team. No matter how great a single football player is, it is the efforts of the team as a whole that helps to win games. The greatest football teams demonstrate phenomenal teamwork and win championships as a result of unified efforts. Coaches enjoy working with level-headed football players who are willing to "take one for the team."

Every team sport, including football, emphasizes the importance of teamwork on and off the field. Working together encourages players to maintain a positive attitude toward one another. Success is multiplied through the efforts of a solid team. When members of a team focus on themselves instead of the team, they can easily lose games to less talented opponents. Athletes who respect their teammates form personal and game-related alliances that make any football strategy implemented on the field more likely to be effective.

In one of his offseason appearances Pruitt casually dropped the comment that the players on our roster this year all like each other and while some people might not have focused on that as being particularly important it resonated with me as being a good first step to establishing a framework for a TEAM. jmo.

Rogue one was really good.

So far:
Revenge of the Sith
Rogue One
Solo
Attack of the clones
Phantom Menace

Now on to A New Hope.

Solo: “This one time, at band camp, we did the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.”

Or put another way: “Honey, I shrunk Han Solo.”

I enjoyed it, but it made me sad. Han was so larger-than-life. Solo shrunk him.

It’s called fight or flight. His brain processed his action and reaction as fight. He ducked to go for a takedown knowing his opponent was running at him. His brain didn’t process that his opponent was going to leap and knee him in the face. Stuff happens. Bet he won’t make that mistake again.
