conveying to my players that I’m coaching. They are warriors losing a battle
and I have to charge them up with the words, tone, and emotion they need to
achieve a very difficult win. They’ve lost many battles in their sport, but I
believe they can win this war of games. What I say and how I say these words

heads held low in defeat. This is not a business pitch it is more intense than
