Thoughts from QBQ ("The Question Before the Question")

Author John Miller breaks down some of his QBQ: The Question Before the Question here. 

Focus on these points: 

1) "What can I learn from this experience?" 

Ask yourself, "where can I improve from last season" and "what is necessary physically and mentally to do that?" 

Every season has peaks and valleys. Regardless of wins or losses, there is never one cause. 

• Aggressive teams put constant pressure on opponents. 
• Excellent teams find ways to win points rather than relying on opponents to make errors. 
• The best teams do not beat themselves. Never allow one mistake to bleed into a series. Play present. 

2) How am I accountable? It's simply the "right thing to do." The wrong things are to blame, whine, point fingers, play the victim, become entitled— and expect others to bail out bad choices. 

A few years ago, Clippers owner Donald Sterling made racist comments. Coach Doc Rivers commented that his parents taught him "never be a victim." As a team, MVB is not a victim of officiating or lack of preparation. If you are dissatisfied with your playing time, work to expand your role while supporting the team. Commit to being a great teammate and impact winning during the game or by practicing hard and challenging teammates to be better. 

Lagniappe. If you're a hitter, study this video (multiple times) and then review last season's video and see your strengths and need areas.
