Motivation

[SeniorJimbo]

Am struggling at the moment to motivate the team when we lose a game, especially when its down to a daft mistake or we get our arses handed to us.
This is affecting them to a degree that it affects their game and we end up doing worse.

Any help would be apreciated.

"When you lose a game, dont lose the lesson"... Learn from your mistakes...What happen how did we lose for what reason, can it be fixed next time round...
Hope this helps

Do what our boy Jurgs does, cave in on yourself and become self destructive and not talk to anyone for the rest of the day... no wait DON'T do that!

One of the good things about Quake is that no matter how we are doing we are always dicking around, take a ball throw it at each other whilst you are waiting to play, take some music, have a dance contest before a game. Everyone around you thinks you are mad, your competitors have no idea what to do with you and you have fun. Of course as soon as we step on the field we slip back into Kill Kill Kill mode Seems to work for us...

personally a good boot up the arse i find works wonders...............

only joking, don't worry about losing as it is part of the learning processfind Find out why and when and where you went wrong

Look at Nexus at HB this weekend. with respect, they only won one game however i guarantee they learned soooooo much.

And Robbo probably administered the boot up the arse anyway...............

As has been said, learn from your lessons. Get people to talk about why they were shot out, and how they can counter that next game on that field. Everyone does it. A loss is no one players fault. Its everyone's fault. Do it in a huddle as well just off the field straight after the game. Then do a 'team' or whatever it is you do before a game start.

Make sure your a unit on and off the field. Walk to the field together, walk from the field together, as smally says, dick around, make it fun.

or you could just not lose?
lol just kidding

in the two tourneys firm kidz have done recently we find we do ok, lose one game, go ****me that was ****, then pick our game up for the rest of it. dunno if its an emerging pattern of needing to lose one game to get back on form. i think winning a few in a row can be equally as bad as you tend to get over confident, and then , as you put it, get your ass handed to you

any team can beat any team, any team can loose to any team, doesn't matter how good you reckon you are, that was proven this last UKM.

So basically play each game as if your life depends on it!!

you should be having fun all the time if your not you need to lighten up. i have fun while still taking it serious.
