Why do I continue to expose myself to this? When the fun of the game is gone then really why are we doing this?
I enjoy more the comraderie and fellowshipping and some instances the teaching and learning.....that is what I enjoy at this stage in the Hobby. 
Honestly Karim,
Some coaches feel as though they should not lose to a specific coach and will kick and scratch and scream until they are victorious but what they do not realize is that they will one day be all alone because noone will want to play them and have to go thru the nonsense that sometimes goes on......  |
I did this for the first time in my life. I could not believe how good I felt about just letting it go then walking away. I had never done that ever but it was a heck of a statement to make. The game wasn't fun and this past year really shed the light on what my competitive/interpersonal expectations are for this hobby. Comradarie over winning anytime.
