The reason...

In sports, one can't always be in the winning team, unless you're damn lucky to be in a team with a good learning culture and is damn motivated to win it all. What will you be playing for if your team is one which always ends up being last?

As a PE teacher, sports should always be encouraged on even if the win is impossible, for it is in the striving that one's character grows. But what if you know your team is not really doing its best to win? If it is totally ignorant of best practices in training, or even about the basic tactical premises of the game? Has no realistic short or long term goals? Has no way to renew its members, or incentive to retain its current people? Is deluding itself that its practice drills are actually useful and applicable? A team with no real leadership, no coaches, no teacher, no supervisor, no one at all to instruct, advice, train, feedback and improve itself? And when training sessions never have targets or objectives, and are never reviewed or feedbacked? And finally, a team which blames the equipment for their failure to succeed and thinks that it's more important than getting a coach?

Now, if you are in such a team...well, if hypothetically you really still am in such a situation, why the hell are you stuck there?? And what will make you want to carry on there, what sort of motivation or reason will you need to be able to make yourself continue to be with such a team?
