  Speaker 1: Walk them aboard and see you cut Football Coaches Show.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Every Tuesday, we get together with Jimoora talk Husky's pig
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: skin coming off the loss in overtime, three of them
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: now in the season. First time coach, you've lost in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a month over a month. I'm just curious the difference
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. You know, when you win, there's
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: elation obviously, when you lose in the way the Huskies
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: have dropped these games, they're really heartbreaker types, right, last
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: play kind of things. And I wonder the recovery period
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: starts right in the locker room or how do you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: handle that?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I'll tell you what, Mike, that's a great question.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I think you have to have a kind of get
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the pulse for your team as they're coming off.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: The field, when they're heartbreakers like that.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I think the best thing to do is is try
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to be as calm as possible. Uh, keep it in,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: you know, keep everyone kind of settled down, because emotions
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: are going to run high, you know when you lose,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: when you invest in so much work and time and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: energy and it's so important to you and then you
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: don't get it done and they end on that the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: last play. You know, you don't really see it coming.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So I try to just be practical, calm them down.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And then when we come back Sunday and we meet,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: then we get a little bit more into the weeds
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: with you know, what happened, why it happened, how we're
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: going to fix it, and then how we're going to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: approach going forward. We try to learn those lessons, apply
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: those lessons, and then you know, we have a twenty
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: four hour rule. You know, after twenty four hours after
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the game's over, you know, we have to flush at
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: least the emotional part of it so we can get
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: on to the next challenge.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: And you know, it doesn't mean you just forget about
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You take the lessons that you learned, good, bad, and different,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and you apply them, but you you have to move
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to the next challenge.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: And so that's yeah.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: You know, I think my job when we walk into
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the locker room is to try to set the mood
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: for that day and also kind of, as you said.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Mike, how we're going to move forward. That's how I
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: approach it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It's funny too, I wonder for you. You're suffering too.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're winning, you're losing, it, It made it hurts.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: How do you deal with that? I mean personally, you
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: walk in there, you're kind of let down. You say,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we gave sixty five minutes and we couldn't come up
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: with a win. You got to kind of put that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: set that aside, don't you before you start talking to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the guys.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know you have to set it aside and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: realize your job as the leader's the head coach is
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: to get out of your own feelings and understand what
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the young men are feeling and be a leader for
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: them and be a role model and a mentor and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: show them the way through disappointment and adversity. And those
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: are all lessons that I think are important that a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: coach understand. You know, you're the adult, You're the one
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that's been through it, and they're looking to you for guidance,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and so you have to you have to put your
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: personal feelings of disappointment aside, and you have to get
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: into their emotions and what are they feeling. And that's
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: how I've always handled it and that's how I'll continue
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to handle it. I'm not a guy that after losses
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: watching the locker room and starts, you own it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Everybody.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: That's just not the way that I don't think many
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: coaches do that at all.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I I haven't really been around any that do.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's just a it's a solemn time when
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you don't win a game, and uh, and you got
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to handle it the right way. You got to handle
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it calm and and honest and practical. And is that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: where that I don't want I don't want to handle
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: it too often?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: How about that I'm winning them? Is that is tough
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: man losing? That's the problem with sports. Someone's got to win,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: someone's got to lose. And but you know, handling that though,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that's such a big responsibility really because you know, the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: guys are hanging on what you're going to say or
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what's coach going to say about this? You know, I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: know what I feel as a player, but then they're
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you know, they're kind of looking to you to see
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: how you're going to handle it.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Sure, and it's important that I handle it the right way.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And I'm not going to say that I always do,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: but I really try to, you know, And you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: sometimes you have to take a couple of deep breasts
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and calm yourself down, and and then you have to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: get like I said, you have to get into you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: how is your team feeling, What do they need? What
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: do they need from me right now? What is it
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that I need to provide for these players right now
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to help them move through it just happened, learn from it,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: apply it, and then get to the next one. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: so we keep it fairly brief after a game, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: then we'll come in Sunday and that's when we, like
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I said, we get into the weeds, you know, the
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: practicality of what what just happened, you know, and why
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and what can we do better to eliminate the chances
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: that it will happen again? And if there's criticisms to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: be made, constructive criticisms to be made, then they're usually
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: made on a Sunday, you know, when the emotion has
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: died down a little bit, and Sundays are always a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: little bit different, you know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And once again, you got to gauge.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You got to gauge the mood of your team, the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: psyche of your team, and then you also have to gauge,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you know, what, how do you want them to react
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and what's the best way for me to make sure
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: they react the way we want them to react. Sometimes
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that might be getting on them a little bit on
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a Sunday, you know, sometimes that might still be soothing them.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Sometimes that might be you know, loud and and h
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and demonstrative, and sometimes it might be calm.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And it just depends on the situation.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this was a game, as all the overtimes
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: have been, where you kind obviously had a chance to win.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know you could be eight no for
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Crinel out. But anyway, my point of it all is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: getting over it and moving on because you've got four games,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you got big ones coming up, you got three at home,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and the team has to start, you know, I guess
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: regaining the belief that you have when you're winning, because
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you do believe in yourself when you win, and when
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you lose, maybe there's a little doubt as to what
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: we're doing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's natural. You know, we'd won four in
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: a row and you lose one and over time and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it can be it can it can put a dent
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: in your confidence. And so the important thing is to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: remind him that, you know, we are a good team
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: when we when we prepare and play to our potential.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: But we also have to understand that you know, wins
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: aren't given. You got to go on, you got to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: earn them through the week, and then you've got to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: go take them on a Saturday. And uh, you can
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: never be entitled and think you're supposed to win. You know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta go take a win. You got
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: to go capture it and so h but the important
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: thing is to is that you you can't let it
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: linger into the next week. You know, you got to
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: come out on Monday with just a fresh sense of resolve.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And our guys understand that, and I think our coaches
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: do a good job, uh demanding that, and I think
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: our players really respond well because I think they're smart
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: and they're mature.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna talk to Alex Hanik a little bit
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: later on. He does mention that and Victor Rose as well.
• 6:56
