Ptopm MetHbi MltuM Finding the Necessary Mental Set Is Crucial. Practice Alone Does Not Make Perfect. During a basketball game, spectators often do not stop and think about what goes on before the game. The basketball team practices and practices; always for that big coming-up game. When it came to game time, nervousness hits the play- ers. Everything they have practiced has to come to- gether now. Nervousness affects all the players differently. For some it was worse than oth- ers. I got especially ner- vous before home games. At home, people from our school are watching us play. They expect performance, and we have to give it to them, commented junior, Mike Waiters. To help get over this nervousness the players have a quiet time to find themselves and de- cide how they were going to play. Then Coach Corona re- views the basics, making sure that everyone knows what they are supposed to do. Finally, everyone warms up before the game to get comfortable. I think it ' s a good system. Warming-up before the games helps me a lot, it gives me more self confidence, stated Jonnell Mosley. In the end there was nothing to completely kill off ner- vousness. Nervousness is a part of the game. It ' s actu- ally good to be a little wor- ried; if we were not nervous, we wouldn ' t care about the game, added senior. Rick Schulte. ■ LISTENING TO THE PRE-GAME TALK. Pat Fagan and Chuck Green concentrate on Coach John Coro- na ' s words. Coache ' s pep talks could give players the mental edge on the court. ■ PREPARING FOR THE GAME, Mike Walters, Doug Fairchild, Coach Larry Pim, and Mr. Jeff Silver wait in the locker room. Positive mental at- titudes were the goals for many players. i SPORTS
