Adam Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I am so sick and tired of hearing that old winning is the only thing garbage, that a rally that falls short is worthless, and how 2nd place is the first loser. People that think that $&^$* don't have their own opinions, they are wrong. EVERYTHING that happens out on the field AT ANY LEVEL is worthwhile. Second place is the secopnd best team- for the other way of thinking, there is only one relevant team, and the others shouldnt have bothered. Haveing been around more championship teams than I care to count- none of them thought that way- that was stuff said by most of the losers- maybe they should be questioning the people who brought them up, as should the rest of the sporting world and society as a whole. There is no room for that trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in SC Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 That and the saying "whoever wants it more will win," boy, I hate that one. 350886[/snapback] Yes, but did they give 110% percent? Someone please explain to me how that is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Gant Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Yes, but did they give 110% percent? Someone please explain to me how that is possible! 350892[/snapback] A very good question. The extra 10% must be purchased on credit at 13-18% interest, so once they have to pay that back usually their next effort is only 82-87%, which is seldom good enough to win. Never tell kids to give 110%, it leads to bad habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Yes, but did they give 110% percent? Someone please explain to me how that is possible! 350892[/snapback] No clue. Although I did have a software app that I used to install for my clients that had a installation progress bar that always went to 110% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I have learned that I will teach my kids is that winning isn't everything, but losing is nothing.......grow a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
