Default Is emotion part of your game ?

Does everyone think emotion plays a part of a miniature football game ?
Do you play the game with emotion , or are you a coach that is cool and calculated ?

Default Perception is one thing but the truth...

is altogether something else.

People see me as a rah rah over the top hype guy but I am totally opposite from that. I am more of a quiet deliberate coach who is very aggressive in playing the game. I don't like to waste my wits ranting and raving and am usually so focused on the task at hand that I may seem aloof.

So to a great deal of extent, I am emotional but not outwardly or in a way that shows the crazy hype emotions that I come off as being.

Good question.

Default only when needed.......

I am mostly cool, but will get fired up when playing someone that demands me to get fired up......

Certain coaches just make you get that way before you even get out of the pre-game warmups...

I cant imagine playing a game & not being fired up. If you show it externally or keep it internal is another thing. But seriously you have to get fired up if it matters right? Good poll.

Their are two coaches ( Corey FOTH & Ed "SmokeStack" Scott) that will get me fired up every time I play them. I tell myself before every game, don't let them get to you and take you out of your game. But it never fails before the kickoff they get me fired up. I have tried not to communicate with them leading up to the game, that did not work. I tried to ignore them at the game, that did not work. These two coaches know how to get me fired up each and every time.

I try not to get emotional about the game, as I feel I perform better, but as you play the game it just happens, like turning into the Hulk, intensity just seems to build and the next thing you know, you are emotionally involved in the game. Its what I love and hate about the game at the same time. It's what I miss about playing solitaire, the calm in not caring about the outcome, but love the stakes and the gamesmanship of playing other coaches. I would be difficult (but not impossible) to go back to playing solitaire without the rush of playing other coaches.

I wish I had started playing other coaches many many years ago. I would probably be better at handling pressure now, but its awesome.

Emotional.. no.. I keep the same face when I score or get scored on.. which for the most part is no emotion at all..

Do I get a little perturbed when it comes to rules.. ya..
Especially when I come home and read the rule.. and I was right.. lol
