“When players feel threatened and insecure, their survival modes become activated, and they begin to disconnect from the coach, teammates, and themselves. They fear punishment, rejection, and harsh judgments, so they instinctually protect themselves. They might look like they are unwilling to improve, but the reality is that they are just trying to survive.”

“The power of sports is obvious. They are more than just entertainment, they are spaces where we feel a part of something bigger than ourselves. We watch athletes and performers try their hardest to achieve something while opponents try to stop them. They must operate within the rules and boundaries, trying to achieve greatness with resistance pressing them backward. And as we watch these made-up games, we feel connected. This is because, at some level, we understand that these games are not so different from our lives.”

“Why do we love games like sports? Because games are a simplified version of life. They incorporate elements of competition and cooperation, providing a platform for socialization and learning. Games present us with goals to achieve, teammates to collaborate with, obstacles to overcome, challenges to face, unpredictability to manage, strategies to develop, and skills to hone. Importantly, games offer valuable life lessons.”
