The team paid the price_Susan三叶草_免费在线阅读收听下载

The players further down the bench did occasionally log “garbage time”— one or two minutes at the end when it didn't matter what anybody did. My friends and I referred to them as“scrubs.”Somehow I missed the fact that these were brilliant players on one of the best teams in the world— so good that tens of thousands of other really good players had failed to make a slot on that team.
I remember,however,a particular game when I realized the limitations to the coach's drive to always win big.As usual,they'd made it all the way to the championship game.But this year,the team they were competing against was playing particularly well.Our starting team had to work harder than ever to try to get the lead the coach expected.By the end of the third quarter,the starters were exhausted.I remember watching the coach on TV.He looked all the way down to the end of the bench.He never bothered to do that in typical matches until the final few minutes of the game, when the stakes were no longer high.This time,however,he needed someone to put into the game at that critical moment. But there was a problem: he didn't see anyone on the bench whom he trusted— because he had never before put them into tight situations where they could have honed their abilities to perform under pressure. So he had to keep playing his weary starters. They lost that game— and the league championship.
The coach's school of experience didn't offer open enrollment in a course on "How to deal with pressure.” It was closed for everyone except his five starting players.And the team paid the price.
总是坐板凳的球员偶尔填补些“垃圾时间”——在比赛结束时的一两分钟，不管做什么都不影响比赛的时间。我和我的朋友称他们为“无关紧要的人”，但是我忽略了这样一个事实:这些球员都是世界上最好的球队的优秀球员——他们如此优秀，以至于成千上万其他真正优秀的球员都没能在那支球队中占据一席之地。
但是我记得，在一场特殊的比赛中，我意识到教练总想大获全胜的局限性。那次就像往常一样，他们一路晋级冠军赛。但是今年，在冠军赛中他们的竞争对手表现得特别好。我们的首发队员必须比以往更加努力，才达到教练所期望的领先水平。到第三节结束时，先发球员已经筋疲力尽。我记得在电视上看到教练，一直在看向板凳球员。在特殊比赛中，直到比赛的最后几分钟，只有比分差距大时，他才会这样做。然而，这一次，他需要有人在关键时刻投入比赛。但有一个问题:他在板凳上没有看到任何他信任的人——因为他以前从未让他们锻炼他们的抗压能力，在这样的情况下，让他们磨练自己，在压力下如何表现。所以他不得不继续用他那些疲惫的首发。他们输掉了那场比赛，也输掉了联赛冠军。
教练的经验学校没有开放“如何应对压力”的课程。除了他的五名先发球员，其他人都不能入场。团队为此付出了代价。
