I love game day...
I love game day the same way Dr. Doogie Howser loves final exam day...
Game day is the one day of the week where you get to show what you have. All the work throughout the week is demonstrated on game day. The difference between Dr. Howser and a team's game day is a crowd of 1,000+ people is not screaming, "Howser! Howser!" when you answer an essay question correctly. I love the fans...they scream, hoot, and holler every time we add a point to our final score.
I love game day because there is nothing more to learn, examine, or practice. Simply show up and show what you got. On game day, there is no need to hold back AND there is no need to provide something you have never learned before: The week's training has already given you the tools to be successful. Relax and demonstrate those tools.
Over-prepare in training so you do not Under-perform on game day... Easier said than done. But it is so true...
As a member of a top sports club, I consider it a blessing to have the support of the fans. It makes game day so much more special. Fans that wish to spend 2 hours of their day watching us. 2 hours where the fans forget about what is going on in their individual lives, live vicariously through the players, and hopefully see our team succeed.
So yea, I love game day because its a weekly test of a team's growth... but one major motivation for success comes from the fans. Fans show the love and support, and we show them why.
Over prepare in training for the success of the team... so you do not under-perform on game day for a fan base that shows love and support.
Too all the fans, past, present, and future... I have nothing but love for ya!
