The perfect game doesn't exist, the great game does. Of course, so does the "crappy game." (feel free to fill in appropriate expletives, if necessary) I want to walk out of the gym knowing that I had my best stuff, gave my best effort, worked hard, made the tough calls, and communicated well with players and coaches. At that point I can walk out of a gym satisfied with my effort. Repeat process 150-200 times each season.
