Ah, Van.........that’ll be a straight no.
Using stamina and mental focus while fatigued is a strategy I employ when I coach my youth teams. I run them ragged in the week. I force them to see clearly and maintain their composure when they are exhausted. I put them under more stress and demand that they push through the haze in practice and sure enough, in a close game, more often than not, we come out the winners. Why? Because they can still play sharp football in the final 15 minutes.
And they love it.
So Bill, you are spot-on and I agree completely with your perspective.
