We are a motivated team, and there is nothing that can stop us from winning the title. Even if I had lost, my teammates would have made up for it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We never went into a game that we did not feel sure of winning, and when we lost, we blamed it on hard luck or the umpires. We never gave any other team credit for being able to play ball, and the result was that we were hard to beat. If I could get my team to be confident, I think we would work our way to the front pretty quickly.
When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.
The joy of winning is not as dramatic as the losses were, because I expected us to win.
Winning is motivation.
I don't believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on a field and be prepared to play a good game.
I certainly like to win. But I really hate to lose. So when you think about that, you're always motivated to, 'I don't want to lose the next game. I don't want to lose the next game.'
If the entire team can feel the same way about these things, you can consistently remain a winner.
A good balance of winning and losing is important. If you just win all the time, you won't get anything out of it; having some tough losses can be really important.
If you can accept losing, you can't win.
You can't succeed if you don't know what losing is.
