It's natural for players to be relaxed, so you have to be there to say, 'You have to do it again and again and again.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You know, there's times when you should play and there's times when you gotta hold back.
The term we use on our team is 'reset': when you go through, whether it's a negative play or a negative drive, and you get your next opportunity - not focusing on the past, but going back into your attack mode.
One thing people always say to me: 'Keep playing.'
The repetition of the theatre means you've got the time to get deeply inside the person you're playing.
With every year of playing, you want to relax one more muscle. Why? Because the more tense you are, the less you can hear.
I don't ever want the players to relax in a game.
Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.
You can't just play the same thing, over and over again.
When I carve out time to game, it's because I rationalize that I 'deserve it,' so I relish every minute of that 2-3 hour session.
I just have to relax before each shot, and let it happen knowing that I've done it a million times before.
