We burried a ball today that was all cut up and broken. On the ball was the scores from our non league schedule (1-4). Other notes on the ball included, "it's over", "forget about it", etc.
We had the seniors each dig a part of the hole where we burried the ball.
A new season begins with the league schedule being the ticket to the playoffs.
Our program has won 80% of our games since 1990. Haven't lost 3 in a row since 1984 (we've lost 4 in a row). Don't know when the school has lost 4 in a row.
I have the reasons for our pitfalls, but they will sound like excuses.
0-0 right now.

I actually did the same thing with my hamster Harvey when I was like 7. Really got me back on the right track.

Coach . . . I love this!!! we are going to steal it next week. We have had a very disappointing regular season, but really have potential to win some games in the playoffs. We were looking for an activity to signify the start of a new season, but this is better than what we came up with.

tothehouse,
Here's another idea one of my assistants tried last year when he was the girl's bb coach and having a tough time...he "borrowed" some old video tapes and labels to make them look like his game tapes...then took the tapes and the players outside and had them smash them to bits with a sledge hammer so they could forget about the past and concentrate on the future. They looked at him like he was crazy at first but then got into it and he swears it helped. Just an idea.

Well. Is..that is a good idea. My idea original was to hold a funeral service. Complete with legitimate priest preciding over the "service". Have grave sites made up with tombstones for each game.
Our HC, who I didn't tell about either idea, must have heard from one of our other assistants about my thought. He then went with the ball idea.
I still think if a little more preparation went into the "burial" it would have been more powerful.
