More Yelling Please Not Enough

My son doesn't hear his father yelling enough with the thrill of victory since of course I understand from Joe Montana the phrase I hate to lose more than I like winning which he commented on the air when I asked him if he felt he had to win when he was behind in a game with minutes sometimes seconds left in the game and my question was what goes on in his head when faced with this pressure of not liking to lose over that of winning. Well I was face with a player an opponent who was talking or chatting as we played the intimidation or distraction did not break my concentration as so often it should not. Whatever the case I pulled a win out for a fifteen point gain rather than a twenty point lost to an opponent close to my ratings. It wound up toe to toe but in the confusion of all the excitement I asked myself if i had any gas left any fuel. I do know right now I could use a good nap. See you!
