LOL. Exactly. Relishing the moment after a win is a loser's mentality. That's a new one.
It isn't new. Its all too common, unfortunately.
I'm not saying they shouldn't relish the win. Winning is the goal, after all. But they need to keep their perspective in place.
Golden sells them that each game is the war. He wants them to focus on one game at a time. I get that. But its small-minded crap. A quality team knows what is at stake. They're capable of understanding the season as a whole. They're HUNGRY to prove something. They don't
need this psycho-manipulation and motivation.
I want guys that go into these games KNOWING we're going to win. In their mind, the question should be how much do we win by....or who can they knock out.....or how nasty of a highlight reel they can accumulate. That confidence and mindset translates on the field.
All this "this is hard" and "wins are rare" crap just undermines that confidence. It breeds a type of player that becomes complacent. A few wins like last week and that HUNGER that they
need to have is (unfortunately) satisfied.
In short.....Golden's approach? Too much sunshine for my tastes.
