SPGRTS Where's the fire? lf you want to talk, you'll have to jog along beside me. l've got practice and, if l'm late one more time, l'll have to run the stairs. I don't understand. Several of our teams don't even have winning seasons. Why do you even bother to be on a team and practice? Maybe our records don't show us as winners, but l know most of us have winning attitudes. A positive attitude was the one characteristic that could make or break a team. Whether one considered the attitude of an individual athlete, coach, or fan, a contest's outcome was often affected by the attitudes of those involved. When an individual player had an outstanding, positive at- titude, it infected the entire team. Like a virus, the positive attitude 'bug' was contagious. One player's positive image of himself as an athlete, a leader, and a winner usually spread throughout the entire squad. When times got tough and The mutual support of Rhonda Miles and Tonya Battle, shown in their pregame ritual of sharing 'high-fives' at the Marshall game, helps to build in- dividual confidence and team spirit. Tech defeated Marshall 86 to 10. team members had a difficult time maintaining upbeat men- tal attitudes, the responsibility of providing positive motiva- tion fell to the coaches. Tech athletes were taught that despite the outcome of a par- ticular game or even the entire season, they should always respect their teammates and their own efforts and abilities. The support of the fans - their appreciation for a per- former's or team's best effort, regardless of the final outcome - also helped to forge a positive attitude on the part of Tech athletes. An enthusiastic and supportive crowd could often lift a team above defeat. In the end, those who par- ticipated in and supported Tech athletics learned to savor victory and to accept defeat by employing a New Attitude. Getting your head together often means developing a proper attitude: for Eric Parrott it means having Seth Peacock and Greg Levell adjust his headgear before the Tech lO-Way match. Sports Division 19
