[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 78183, member: 639"] I want to expand a little. Having coached enough I feel I can offer something from my experience. Some people may feel like the intensity factor or focus should be like a switch and can be turned on and off with the players. Why couldn't we just wake up after they scored the first TD of half 2? You may ask. I really don't think it works that way with humans playing sports to be truthful with you. It takes a while to get into the correct zone mentally, but it can be lost in an instant. Normally, once the edge is lost it will not return no matter how much you talk about it. That is why it is so important not to lose it in the first place. Usually, there has to be some MAJOR event that changes the fundamental consciousness of the players, like a HUGE momentum changing play, or a fight, or the lead actually changing to make it happen quickly. I don't know why it is this way, but I believe it is. That is why I fear big leads as much as I do. I have seen it happen time and time again at the HS level. It is a trait that lessons on teams as they get older. It still happens to adults, but far less often. [/QUOTE]
