A Coaches Consolation

Sanders consoling Hagler Competition comes with high emotion especially if you have an aggressive disposition. That drive and desire to win can come with disappointment and tears when the outcome does not end in victory. In a team situation you are always sad over a loss but in some ways that can be absorbed and shared since it takes a team to win and it takes a team to lose. However, that is not always clear cut especially when a game winning situation hangs in the balance and one specific player either comes through or fails to.

Professor Mike Tipton from the University of Portsmouth states, "it only takes a very small volume of water (one or two breaths) to cross the lethal does for drowning so the action of the coach was life-saving!"   ...
