Inspiration and Desperation

<p>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;In life you need either inspiration or desperation. &lt;/i&gt;Tony Robbins.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;Or both.&lt;/p&gt;<br>
&lt;p&gt;We are entering the final stages of our soccer season. The Pulaski County girls soccer team has a couple more regular season games and then begins the district tournament. The girls soccer team has never won the district tournament, and we have a great opportunity to do that this year.</p>
<p>Last year, the girls got complacent - soundly beating Somerset in the regular season, only to fall to them in the tournament championship.</p>
<p>The stage is set again this year.</p>
<p>We had a convincing win against them in the regular season, and more than likely, they will get past the first round to meet us in the championship game next week.</p>
<p>If we are not careful, we'll forget it was a 0-0 game with Somerset at the half... We'll forget the close breakaway that could have put them up on us in that game... We'll forget what they did to us last year.

One of my jobs as a coach is to help inspire and light fires of desperation in the team.

Hopefully, both happens.
