My experience is just in football and baseball (and track which seems irrelevant here), but it seems like so many times we go from hot to cold in any sport there’s a chorus that the team and
coach quit — which 99% of the time seems like fans just throwing out whatever makes them feel better versus reality.
Take baseball. When you are in the batters box you are so absurdly locked in. It would, to me at least, be impossible to quit if you’ve already made it to this level. You certainly can be in your own head — that happens at times for nearly everyone. But you aren’t just giving up and letting hittable pitches just fly by you because you are unmotivated. That entire concept, and you can extend it to every aspect of the game, is just so absurd to me. I’m football you almost couldn’t for your own well-being. You’d be blasted okay after play and if anything that alone would be motivation to suck it up. More likely the freak lined up across from you in the SEC just has physics much more on their side.
Sure Corbin is bummed. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. In fact, it means the exact opposite. He cares a ton, much more than anyone on this board.
Highs and lows are the nature of anything competitive. If we win 7 in a row we won’t have magically started trying harder. We are still trying hard right now. My 2 cents at least
