Matchups...

So I have been following the NC2A basketball tournament the last few weeks and I am amazed at the teams that have made it through so far and those that have fallen out. The mighty Kansas Jayhawks, probably the number 1 team in the country gets knocked out by a cinderella team that no one picked to be there. We saw Syracuse, another team that spent some time at number 1 and they don't make it either. How about Kentucky? They have the best freshmen in the nation but they won't be playing for the championship either. See the NC2A tourney is all about matchups.
All teams have a weakness, wether it be a soft inside game, or a poor ballhandling game, or bad outside shooting each and every team has a weakness somewhere. The difference is the good teams can hide their weakness, accomodate for their weakness, keep their weaknesses from being exposed. The good teams also are able to attack and expose the other's teams weakness.
How do they do that? By practicing and watching and planning.
We all have weaknesses in our lives, and what we need to do is be able to improve on our weaknesses. The great teams see their weaknesses for what they are and they improve them so they are no longer a weakness in their game.
So go out and work on your game, work on your weaknesses so you can be complete and then the opposition won't be able to be victorious when the game is on the line.
