I know this has become an essay of sorts, so to conclude, I actually think successful football coaches can teach people how to respond to the “gold medal syndrome.” The championship isn’t the finality of your work. It’s just part of the process. You can enjoy the moment briefly, but you have to have a disciplined process that you enjoy and understand. That’s when you’ve arrived.

My HS baseball coach was excellent, his assistant was Jim Wells.

We never discussed championships, just dealt with what we needed to deal with day to day. Turned a losing program into a really good one.
