When I first started playing Rec volleyball 40 years ago, our 'captain' was this British fellow whose favourite phrase was 'Ohhh, just unlucky'. At the time, I thought he was just being kind. Turns out, he was onto something. LOL. I preach to my team that all we are doing when we practice is learning to put ourselves into the best position possible to increase the odds of winning the next point. The rest is not for us to say. The future's not ours to see, what will be, will be.
I had a similar experience, a team captain coming into the huddle after we had lost a rally and saying, “unlucky”. I agree, they were onto something haha
I love that statement to your team. 🎶 Que sera sera 🎶
Great article… kind of feel like there’s something about momentum in sports written between the lines here 😉
I thought that too when I read yours on Sunday. :)
Thanks for reading and for the comment.
