We went undefeated until tonight and I watched the kids shed tears as their hearts were crushed by the other teams defensive line. They were bigger, they were stronger, they were present and we came in the mental underdog. We moved up divisions this year and we played like we deserved it without many close calls; we balled!! But... we believed the hype this week and before we even saw our opponent the buzz was we wouldn't be able to hold them and we didn't. They ran all over us because we failed to out think our fear.
That mind game knocked us off our feet. Just like life, half of what you fail to accomplish is because you didn't believe that you could from the beginning. Words are life; they are our power or our weakness. What we say is what we create and what we display. Yes true enough that team was a powerhouse but instead of everyone talking about how good they were, we should have talked about our greatness. They didn't have anymore checks in the W column before the game than us, but at the end of the day someone had to go home with an L.
