Drives, Games and Seasons

“A naive dream is that it’s possible to go on a long bike ride – and enjoy the journey going downhill in each direction”

Thought: This is typical my least favorite sport season but it’s been surprisingly more enjoyable thanks to Women’s basketball. I really miss football. I’ve been thinking about drives, games and seasons. 

Every drive is a chance to score or prevent the other team from scoring. You can score on a lot of drives but if you don’t win the game, then it doesn’t make much of a difference. You can win a bunch of games but if you don’t make the playoffs, then it’s not a big deal. Only one team wins their last game and gets the hardware. 

Better to lose a few games and fail on a few drives than lose the last game. How many people remember who came in 4th at the end of the season? Anyone remember who lost the Super Bowl 5 years ago? You don’t question much when you have small(er) wins along the way but a failure can lead to bigger success when you learn from it. The perfect season doesn’t exist (unless you are the South Carolina Women apparently) but a winning one is possible every year.
