Student of the Game

It's time to dig a little deeper. Have you ever wondered why a player always does the same routine before shooting a free throw, or how fatigue impacts decision-making? Us too. Student of the Game explores the world of Sports Psychology by looking closer at the biggest sports stories of the day, and the athletes and coaches who make them happen.

    0:30 You were careful to say "in a computer", rather than "if you were to build an elite cyclist *in a laboratory*"...which is pretty much what goes on. Also; no one ran into a spectator, some dumb broad entered the race coarse because she wanted media clout, fled and hid, but was hunted down within two days and arrested.

    I've always wondered why NFL teams will draft highly productive college Quarterbacks that get labeled as "system Quarterbacks" then intentionally not change their system to suit that QB's skillset. You're picking a guy to (presumptively) be the face, and future of your franchise, and staking the chance of you winning (and profiting even more), to somebody that you won't even give every opportunity to be the best they can be. . .

    I was just a teenager when all this was happening and it was amazing to live through. I credit these years for my interest in baseball. I had been playing since T ball however was considering quitting and never paid much attention to the MLB. The Giants HAVE to get another one in my adult life.

    I hope before Jordan dies, or before old age eventually takes his mind that he is invited to an award ceremony where they don't tell him what it is. When he walks out on stage he sees an auditorium on the lower level filled with the 75 greatest basketball players of all time who are still alive. The outer seats are filled with current all-stars and sports writers from his era and the current one. Each of the greatest players is equipped with a mic. One at a time they stand up and in 4 seconds no longer than 10 tell him how great he is and that he is the greatest. We all know it. They all know it. Put aside any jealousy, dislike, or thoughts that they are better and say it. Outside of Kareem no one really has a claim. After, he is presented with a screen, by NBA's current logo Jerry West, where he is informed that his Jump Man logo will now and forever be the NBA's logo. In doing so, it doesn't take anything away from Kareem's greatness, Magic, and Bird's presence pulling the NBA from the depths of bankruptcy, or any other player who has contributed mightily to the league. Walking side by side with Jesus as he healed the sick and performed countless miracles is the only thing I can think of that would top watching Michael Jordan in his prime. He is why we still watch today. Because we are always looking for him. When we see glimpses of early greatness in young players we dream, fantasize, and wonder if this is the one. Is this the guy who will mesmerize us, make us believe in the unbelievable, and build a consistent faith that when the time comes in a playoff game or the finals and time is running out he will always deliver. Not only deliver, but do it in a way that we've never seen before, can't comprehend, and makes us feel that what we just saw wasn't humanly possible.

    When I saw him with the Phillies in 2011, I told my mom and dad “I like that guy!”. They asked who I was talking about. I said “The guy in right field”. He played the game in his own way, different from everyone else. I wanted to have him with my Giants. The next season we got him. I was floored. I never had a wish come true before that. He’s my favorite player all time for these reasons. He attacks the ball at the plate in a way I love to watch. He throws his body around in right with reckless abandon. He played so fast and hard in a league that was trying to refine the necessary skills.

    For me the best "fit" in the World right now is Ancelotti at Real Madrid I mean, ok Ancelotti is a World class coach and Real Madrid is the greatest club in the World. But it's more than that. Real Madrid is a club with a president who is the alpha and omega, the players are superstars and offensive players (even if they have a defensive role) and the club put a huge pressure to win Ancelotti was a player then a coach who won almost everything, and one of his most powerful idea is to anything to adapt to his best players to allow them to express themselves. Plus, he's tactically not the strongest in the World, but he's the strongest by far in a specific point : create a balanced tactic with a squad that doesnt seem balance at all, even if he must put players to unonorthodox positions (ex : Pirlo then Kroos and Modric, three pure 10 than he put at number 6). And Ancelotti's failure at Bayern (where they love coaches who managed like a general in army, and when he succeeded to the greatest tactician in the World, Guardiola) and Napoli (same, he came after Sarri who create a very rigid tactic but very effective at Napoli) show that fit is everything.

    I’m about as positive on Ange as you’re going to find on the internet. I think if we stick with him and give him what he wants I think he’s going to end our trophy drought sooner rather than later. I definitely think Klopp is going to be back after his year sabbatical he said he wants to take. If Kompany doesn’t crush it his first year I could see him going to Bayern, but would also watch Real Madrid or the German national team job (assuming Nagelsmann leaves). He won’t come back to the PL

    It can only be speculated by everyone as to why MJ retired in 1993 as the only person who absolutely knows the truth is the man himself. The way the sports industry and the entertainment industry operate, you should never take what is said in the media as the gospel truth, even when the individual themself makes statements.

    Why was Jordan so feared? In order to understand how emotions develop, love, happiness, anger, sadness, and in this case fear, you must travel back in time further and further and further to the exact moment where the emotion is no longer evident. After using the inversion method, reverse it and regress even further to a known point where said emotion is absent with certainty, working forward until reaching the exact moment evidence of emotion is first detected. Unlike physical beginnings, understanding the origin of an emotion can be tricky. Because of scheduling, the amount of games played in a college year (25-35) as opposed to the NBA (82), single elimination tournament format versus 7 game series, and limited years of eligibility for a college athlete, I don’t believe players saw enough of Jordan to develop true feelings of fear outside Dan Dakich who was so nauseated that he threw up when he learned that he would be guarding Jordan prior to their sweet sixteen matchup. The seeds of fear were first planted during the 84 Olympics in which Jordan partook in. His spectacular play throughout led his team to an undefeated record against NBA players in 9 exhibition games and a perfect 8-0 throughout the Olympics. While NBA players who were competing against Jordan at that time didn’t fear him, they knew that what they were seeing was something different than they had ever seen before. Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers were getting unsettling feelings that they may have made a grave mistake. Upon entrance, Jordan took the NBA by storm. Night in and night out, city to city, he lit up scoreboards across the country at an alarming rate. More so, he did it in a way not only seen before, but in a way no one thought humanly possible. Imagine being an NBA player, one of the best basketball players in the world. Each time you take the court you play with pride, fierce determination, laser focus, and unwavering confidence in front of tens of thousands of live fans and millions watching around the world along with friends and family members. Your entire life you’ve been told how good you are, how amazing you are. And rightfully so. You’ve dominated the competition at every level. The papers praise you. Your teammates glorify you. ESPN speaks on your amazingness showcasing clips of your incredible plays. The attention you receive, and again, rightfully so, validifies how great you are. Then, along comes a player that changes everything. All of the attention surrounding you and several other players from around the league begins to shift. The 32 points you scored on Monday is overshadowed by the 52 he dropped at the Garden the night before. The 43 you posted 5 days later (one of the best games of your career) is quickly forgotten because the following night he goes off for 61. While you are trying not to think about him, trying to put him out of your mind, the only thing he is doing is thinking about you because in 4 days the two of you will face off for the first time. For the next 3 days all you hear around you is that he’s coming. Gameday arrives. And although it’s just a regular season game at the midway point, the atmosphere feels different. You walk out onto the court with your teammates first and begin warmups. A few minutes later, he immerses from the tunnel and steps onto the court. You didn’t see him walk out, but somehow you felt it. You look into the crowd and get a chilling feeling as if you were in a Stephen King novel. You’ve never seen 40 thousand fans in unison staring in the same direction as if they were hypnotized. For a brief moment, you have an outer body experience as if you never existed. Although you’re a reigning league all-star and previous defensive player of the year, you have the same feeling you had when you played your very first professional game. Mentally, you’re trying to ignore the presence you feel behind you as if somehow it will make it go away. Tipoff is seconds away. As you walk to the circle trying not to make eye contact, you can feel Jordan’s eyes fixated on you as if the world's population instantly vanished and the only two humans remaining are just you, and him. Then the annihilation begins. You find yourself calling for help defense more times in this game than in your entire career combined. No matter what you do, how much help comes, there's nothing you can do to stop it. You can’t offset it with offense of your own due to his defensive ability coupled with exhaustion from trying to stop his offense. The relentless onslaught from both ends of the court is unlike anything you’ve ever encountered. Each time you approach the bench for a short rest your coaches and teammates say nothing which further confirms what you already know, that you can do nothing to stop it. The immediate aftermath is even worse. The mental frustration of trying to comprehend what just happened is overwhelming. For the first time in your life you question yourself as a basketball player. Basketball players-especially in the 80s and 90s-played with a tremendous amount of pride and confidence.. All stars throughout the league knew that they were the top 15 to 20 best basketball players in the world and could compete with each other at any time-with the exception of Michael Jordan. Never have we seen such a gap between the best player in the world at his or her sport compared to the rest of the field. Chuck Daily (coach of the Detroit Pistons) once made a statement that Jordan was so good he is embarrassing the league. His skill set compared to other players, even the best players, were galaxies apart. And they knew it. Each and every time they faced Jordan, they knew that for the entire game every eye in the arena, home or away, and the millions watching around the world would be on him and the person trying to stop him for 48 minutes as if it were a 1 on 1 matchup and the other 8 players weren't even there.

    There are great teams, but none of them have 2 3-peat Championships. Kobe was the same way with his teammates and he and Shaq have one 3-peat. Kobe said if you're going to play on his team, you're going to play, practice, and perform at a clearly defined set standard; which ended up being an established culture rooted in discipline. This was the case whether players liked it or not.

    The 2013/14 Premier League season taught us all a valuable lesson a great attack can only get you so far, a great defence can bring you home you can't have 1 but not the other you got to have both and Manchester City that season had both great going forward 102 goals scored with Aguero, Dzeko and especially Yaya Touré being very prolific and a great defence 37 goals conceded which was the second best in the league where as Liverpool and Chelsea had 1 but not the other. Liverpool had the attack 101 goals scored but their defence was shocking 50 goals conceded. Whereas Chelsea the third player in this title race had a great defence 27 goals conceded the best in the league that season not a surprise as Jose Mourinho was in charge and his sides were always good defensively but a poor attack cost them just 71 goals scored roughly 30 fewer than both Liverpool and City their strikers Torres, Eto'o and Ba were the main reason why they lost the title with just 19 goals between them (Torres 5, Eto'o 9 and Ba 5). Mourinho sorted the problem in buying Costa the following year and hey presto out popped the title.

    I say yes, at the time I'm sure they had to be pushed. They sure liked the results. Every generation in this country gets softer. I doubt the group playing in the NBA today could even take the harsh treatment Jordan doled out to get them to work harder. And the generation after the one playing in the NBA now will be even softer. So they just keep changing the rules and making the game easier.

    Krause never recruited shooters for the Bulls. And don't bring up Pippen until you watch the Bulls from 1987 and going forward. Its all on youtube. Pippen didn't even play bb in college and in the 80's he wasn't even a starter. Pippen, IMO, started to look like a bb player after practicing and playing with Jordan for 4 years. By 1991 he became an allstar and this was the first time Jordan ever had an allstar to play with him. Rensdorf made an interesting comment after one of the championships, might have been the fourth one. He said "Look what we did and we did it with players no one else wanted". I thought he nailed it with that comment. Thats why the Pistons wanted to put Jordan out of commission with The Jordan Rules. The Pistons knew they could beat the Bulls without Jordan and I agree. The Pistons didn't have to play dirty they were a really good team much better than the Bulls. But the Bulls had Jordan.
