PAIN OF HOLDING BACK

CHARACTERISTIC OF CHAMPIONS is their utmost respect for themselves and their opponents, often manifested by their refusal to hold back. Yet there are times when they lose sight of this concept by not giving their all, thus jeopardizing their integrity and possibly the outcome of the game. For example, the national champion women’s field hockey team at the University of Maryland “held back” in a devastating 3 – 2 loss to conference rival Virginia. The pain following the game was not the loss but the fact that they didn’t give their best effort. At a meeting later that week, we discussed how the pain of going all out is nothing compared to the deeper pain of waking up the next morning wondering how great you might have been, if you hadn’t held back. That following weekend they stepped up and put it on the line against Old Dominion University. Despite a tough 1 – 0 defeat, the women felt confident, strong, and satisfied with their champion-like play. Committed to playing this way, during their next outing they went on to beat a very strong North Carolina team. By not holding back, the pain of going all out has its rewards, regardless of the outcomes.
