Players only meeting?

[screwduke]

Does the team need one?

 

[KyFord]

Hopefully not

 

[MdWIldcat55]

The most overrated phenomenon in sports. I've been in a couple. If a team is together, they can marginally and temporarily reinforce that but probably not enough to affect the outcome of a game. If the team is divided, they usually do more harm than good.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Oh god, get one of those and you know things aren't going well. One of the most overrated sport cliche things.

 

[WeWant9]

I'll continue the trend and say I hope not, not a lot of good comes from them. I think this is why Cal is going the it's on me route, as those meetings can divide and kill teams.

Real squads in any sport keep away from the "players only" meetings stuff. It's been a failure since hickory.

Someone pull a Tim Tebow and be done with it. Demand it, don't just stand around Talkin about it.

Players only meetings are for the birds. Haha those things accomplish nothing. Not every team is like remember the titans.

 

[TankedCat]

the players only meeting is only after the breakfast club practices

 

[BostonCat2001]

waste of time...never achieve anything.

just let these kids relax and play ball. if they win great. if they dont...oh well. just have fun.

 

[CatEye2010]

Players don't need one, but the RR posters here do.

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

Only bad teams need players-only meetings

 

[sambowieshin]

A players only meeting followed by a sports psychologist session and a feel-good team building activity like dodgeball.
That's all folks.....end of season.

 

[kyups01]

Good grief. ..the ol players only meeting...it's like coach speak but for players. It's dumb, overused and more than likely accomplishes nothing. It shouldn't take a players only meeting to get players to play, if coaches can't get them to do it the players who aren't doing it aren't going to be able to get one another to do it! The 'players only meeting' is as worn out as the celebrity checking into rehab for whatever slur or comment they've made.

The UK football team had several of these meetings this past season. It didn't do squat

 

[JBnTN]

They talk to each other everyday. Chemistry either happens or it doesn't. And it occurs on the court, not in some meeting.

Must explain Louisville's position.

Boogie held the post game speech to the team last night.
Karl said he loved it.
I wish our bigs had one 10th of boogie's will to win.
Karl went on and on about boogie's desire to win

I wish our had 1/10 of anything boogie.

60% of the time players only meetings fail every time

 

[Federal Cat]

The only meeting they need to have is ball meet net, every time they go down the court

 

[kyjeff1]

Lol, you all think they haven't had several meetings by now? Don't they spend most of every day together? You guys think they haven't talked or made promises to each other? It doesn't have to be formal and it doesn't have to make the ESPN top ten but I guarantee these kids have all sat down and hashed it out.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Im hearing things got better at Minardi Hall after a Hooker's only meeting.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

Equivalent of the dreaded "vote of confidence".
Basically a public acknowledgment of "stick a fork in, we're done".

 

[catrecruit]

Those are like a hot shower....when it's over it's over

I don't know if I would say that. You know our football team had several players only meetings this year and, oh wait...

Cousins has a ton of basketball talent. But I nearly throw up whenever anyone tries to suggest Cousins is a 'leader.'

 

[Blueaz]

I did not call him a "leader".
I relayed Karl's account of him. And his coach was eluding to the point that makes YOU throw up.

You don't have to be lonely, at players only dot com.
