Vs: 100-0 voitto ja potkut
tjeebbss sanoi:
Tuollaista läpihuuto-ottelua voi ja pitääkin hyödyntää harjoitusmahdollisuutena, eikä pidä siis lainkaan höllätä vaikka johtaisikin 180 pinnaa. Niin tehdään urheilijoita.
Tässä edelliseen amerikkalainen vastaus Tom Nordlandin - heittovalmentaja - kuukausiraportista

I liked this article by
Jim Thompson, director of the Positive Coaching Alliance:
“No Winners in Dallas’ 100-0 Basketball Game!” by Jim Thompson, Positive Coaching Alliance
“If you want to win, here is a surefire, guaranteed way to do so. Schedule your team against a really weak opponent.
“In the wake of The Covenant School girls basketball team's 100-0 "win" over Dallas Academy, many have defended since-fired Covenant Coach Micah
Grimes, asking what he could have done differently, because "it just isn't right to let the other team score."
“My answer -- often shared in our Double-Goal Coach workshops, where we train coaches to win and teach life lessons -- is that there are many
ways to make productive use of a blowout game. It all starts with preparation for a game against an obviously mismatched opponent. When
coaches have an upcoming game against a strong opponent, we prepare our players for the challenges facing them. We tend to not do the same when
we know we are facing a much weaker team.
“But blow-out games provide as many teachable moments as do highly-contested ones. For example:
• Don't try to build a comfortable lead and then let up. Start your substitutes even if it means a slower, less-stable advantage. Even if your team falls behind, your stronger players can then enter, challenged to play their best.
• Start players in unfamiliar positions. Got a big center who doesn't dribble well? Have her bring the ball up. Let your smallish guards post up.
• Have your players dribble with their weak hand. Caution them not to show up the opponent-have them dribble weak-handed without a big show.
These are ideas for basketball, but with some creativity and preparation, coaches can apply these to any sport. But let's look at the bigger picture, which a 100-0 game forces us to do. What exactly is the purpose of sports?
“With the attention that winning big brings to coaches in the college and pro ranks it's easy for youth and high school coaches to forget that they are educators. Many, perhaps most, youth coaches imagine themselves, from time to time, coaching on the big stage.
“But as much as youth sports resembles pro sports, they are fundamentally different. One is an entertainment business. The other is about educating kids. Or should be.
“Everything that happens on the playing field is grist for the mill of the Double-Goal Coach. Win or lose, come through in the clutch or blow it, coaches who see themselves as character educators can make a life lesson out of it.
“Sports soars when worthy opponents compete and it takes their best to win. Mismatches happen, so coaches must prepare their teams to play weak opponents with class, just as they prepare them to play tough opponents with determination.
“Otherwise, why not schedule against a kindergarten team and go for 500 points?”

P.S. from Tom: I read that the winners put pressure on the overmatched opponents, maybe all or most of the game. The article said the winners “pressured” them until the 100 points was in sight, and they would steal the ball at half court and get a layup, over and over and over. If that’s true, wow, what a misplaced sense of values! Humiliating those
inexperienced girls so you can win by a bigger score. I’m sure you all have thoughts about how this game violated your principles and ways it could have been played. I saw an interview of the losing team and they seemed to have weathered it well. Their coaches taught them some great values of the game. It’s a learning lesson for us all. The “winning”
coach was deservedly fired.
