I'm not a football expert. So I will not get into the exactreasons why the Giants Won. However, I think it's a great occasion to talk about some of the things that makes a championship team. According to author William Warren, Championship teams... - Have a common goal- Don't let temporary setbacks deter them- Work harder to achieve more- Don't blame others- Surround themselves with good people- Concentrate on priorities- Set realistic goals- Don't underestimate themselves- Have discipline- Build a sense of "teamness" in everything they do And you could probably double the number of items on that list. I think that there are three key lessons from that victory that wecan do that do apply to softball: 1. A game is played on the field; not on paper2. Defense wins championships (isn't that true in softball?)3. Preparation is key Play hard. Marc"Your Softball Peak Performance Coach" For more tips, go to my site:www. Softballperformance.com
