Plan B

This morning I was listening to an interview with the current Memphis basketball coach and former UMass coach John Calipari. He was talking about in the pressure situations how he wants his players to handle themselves. He said it so eloquently, and I can't do justice to his words.

One thing he said was that physilogically there's not much of a difference between fear and anger. And yes, this validates every single star wars metaphor anyone has ever made... (Yoda, in Episode 1 and Episode 4, Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, etc...)Anyways, he said that he never tells his kids to play angry because its too close to fear. Play afraid and you're D-O-N-E.

But the main thing that he was talking about that really got to me was plan B. He said what you do after your whole game-plan collapses is a microcosm of life. When you get hit with that haymaker, you have to regroup, gather yourself and think about plan B, quickly.

I'll finish this later...
