Forward Looking

Why do we enjoy high school sports so much? Yesterday's defeat brought forth sorrowful tears, but the salient point is how deeply the players care. A couple of hour effort on the court synthesizes years of preparation, practice, training, and time.

Sports allows the participants to experience special, priceless feelings. Players, fans, and communities become part of something greater than their 'ordinary' lives.

Within the biology of life, we often focus on both growth and repair. A team behaves as a living organism, with need for differing inputs, which might include more discipline, more work, more rest, a day off, team building activities like bowling or a pizza party, or nothing new at all. Coaches know what their team needs and when.

Tomorrow, the Lady Raiders get back on the court at 4:00 p.m. at nearby Stoneham, with the best restorative treatment friendly competition.
