Message: [QUOTE="cmr27, post: 1189097, member: 215"] Agreed. It's about self-discipline and the mental exertion necessary to focus on details. Disciplined teams have to get beaten by somebody. An undisciplined team always defeats itself. You could argue too that durability reflects discipline. Wooden made his guys put socks on a certain way because he didn't want them getting blisters during games (remember, footwear wasn't as good back in the day). For Syracuse, I'd start the offseason review with questions about training. Are guys over-exerting themselves in the gym -- kids love to show off -- or not doing their workouts as coaches want? I'm fine with Shafer but I'd be asking a lot of questions about the S&C coaches. Poor training technique can put you in a bad position during a play and we've certainly had our share of injuries.
