[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 633662, member: 932"] This can go too far. If you’ve ever managed a team of resources then you have to know when it’s time to push them to the max and when it’s not time to do so. This is not a plug to say he was always right, but have you ever read Dodd’s Luck? His stance on practice was very different than say, Robert Neyland (for whom he played)...yet Dodd still produced incredible results on game day. Point being that there are many ways to drive results, and simply pushing as hard as you can 100% of the time and judging who gives the best effort or who produces under this simulated stress isn’t necessarily he best approach. Can it work? Absolutely...but I can also backfire in a very bad way. People (especially intelligent ones) understand the difference between effort that matters and effort that doesn’t. People that are truly driven by competition don’t always perform well in practice or simulations. But when it matters they show up in a big way. Now does this mean if you completely slack at practice you should play? Of course not...I just hope they’re drawing the line correctly. [/QUOTE]
