Personally, I've found "less is more" to be quite accurate. The more we say in pre-game, the more ammunition we give coaches to use on us.
I'm sure we've seen the ol "we're gonna let em play" & "we're gonna work hard for you" lines come back to bite us in the behind.
Working a mens league the other night & my partner chose to have pre-game meetings  with the teams individually. Needless to say, I chose not to take part of THAT. Apparently he told them we were going to let them play like men. 3 minutes in he has a ticky-tack & guess what the players said... |
Thats the problem with that kind of statement. We may have differences as to what "letting them play like men" means.
