some stuff

I think that you need to treat different people on a team differently. Everyone is motivated by different things. Some can take the heat if you give it to them. Others need re-assurance. I don't think there is anything wrong with treating different players differently.

Also I was thinking about my favorite players...and also Ryan Grace's favorite athletes. We generally like really different athletes on teams. I'll have to run this by Ryan to see if he agrees but if I had to guess it's because Ryan likes the artistry of athletes. He likes the creativity and the flair and spunk.

I like artistry and creativity, but I like doing the fundamentals well more. I tend to like players who don't stand out as much. I like the players that do the little things well. I like the person who follows rebounds, or the wide receiver that blocks on running plays or the guy that can get the bunt down in key situations.

Ryan and I both like artistry and players who do the fundamentals but I care more about the fundamentals then artistry. I like hustle and the little things done well. I think artistry should only happen when your up by 50.
