Usually older players, late in the season, start to get cold.
No matter how much you've won, no matter how many games, no matter how many championships, no matter how many Super Bowls, you're not winning now, so you stink.
You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.
When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.
I think confrontation is healthy, because it clears the air very quickly.
Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.
