You know...after big news stories, changes in the season, your team needs some kind of reprieve. An outing. A change in procedure.
What do these changes do?
It brings things together. It tightens loose ends even if you do not win the next game. Check it out:
A pro team that endures turmoil with one player threatening a trade in the middle of the season needs some type of intervention to return cohesion. They do not have to go all out and have some extravagant celebration or outing. The team can do a volunteer session.
Hey, I am only giving examples.
Would you, as a fan, rather see your team lose a poorly played game after turmoil or strife in the organization or see them lose a 1-point game that showed improvement in areas of the team's game that has lacked for most of the season?
Yes, I know you'd rather see them win. In reality, this scenario occurs. So, which loss would you rather see?
Say it...the latter one. Of course, the latter one. Why not?
What is the inspiration behind this post?
Actually, it is the Los Angeles Lakers. I am not a Lakers fan nor do I dislike them, but news swells around their camp every year. The Lake Show represents one team that endulges in constant news throughout the entire NBA season. So, when something arises, it usually occurs around losing. Let's say their losing is due to lack of offense. Now, they go in to a game versus the Golden State Warriors, and though the Lakers lose the game by one point, they show tremendous offense.
Again, only an example.
...But, wouldn't a Lakers fan like to see a close loss with upside versus a blowout?
Take mental breaks to try to gain upside in your season. The pro level does not have to be the only skill level to do it. In fact, any team at any skill level can experience stress during the season. Mental breaks help relieve stress. Will it work for every team? May be not. But, many teams need it.
Oh yea, what if my team is 2-22? 👀 😬. That's different.
