The Pressure of the game – and our philosophy in the Reno Vikings Club
In competitive sports endeavors, it is important not to be trapped in high-pressure fearfulness and anxiety about winning or losing. The Reno Vikings Club understands that winning games does indeed bring important rewards but winning a game does not define a “winner.
” Winning any specific game – especially at elite levels – is not infrequently due to things other than skills, effort, and intensity. Consequently, it cannot be the principal criteria of success. What is this criteria? We believe it must be – as Vince Lombardi clearly understood – the “never giving up trying to win.” It is the “never giving up trying to win” that often transmogrifies into a “self-fulfilling prophecy.”
Winning a game is important “gravy.” It is nice and it feels good. It is a reward only the young women on the field and no one else can achieve. But winning or losing a match “is what it is.” Real lessons do not come from this fact. Let there be no mistake: the real value, the real-life lesson here is in the “never, never, never giving up” – win or lose.
