The Roaring Bulldogs

          We had the great experience yesterday to watch the thrashing victory of the home court team, the Western Bulldogs against the visiting team, Port Adelaide. At the start of the game though, it was the Port which was leading the game. However, after just a few minutes that lapsed, the Bulldogs started to show their dominance over the Port.

          The leading scorers for the Bulldogs were Jake Stringer with 4 goals, Redpath also contributed a significant number of goals same as Crameri and Dickson while on the side of the Port, it was Schulz with 2 goals, and Wingard with the same output. 

           Such an amazing performance of the Dogs that now they are sort of pronouncing it to the rest of the league that they're back. On the previous competitions such as last year, they did not perform that well but this year, they are making it good that they now occupy one of the top spots in the league.

Congratulations to the whole Bulldogs team and better luck next time for the Port.

Controversial remarks made my Brazilian coach- this explicitly happened during the recent version of Copa America wherein Brazilian coach, Dunga, was highly criticised especially by the netizen for making a disgusting remark in which he tried to compare himself as of having an African descent or roots while experiencing difficulty and challenging comments as a consequence of the team's lackluster performance in the said prestigious competition. And although the famous coach made a public apology on his outburst yet the damage has been done on his actions.

Be A Consistent Winner!

          In the world of sports, winning is the most essential thing to achieve. Hence, sports people train so hard day in and day out so as to achieve the goal of success. Perhaps it is always the will that will guide a person towards joy and contentment in whichever field of sports he would deal on.

       On the other hand, your will to be the best should always be the guide to reach the top and it should be devoid of any wrongdoings.  And it needs to be consistently bear in mind that winning is the primary goal. Another consideration on any field of sports is the attitude of being fair and square with others even with one's direct competitors. In times of losing, accept with all humility and never put the blame of losing on the opponent. 

          Your  will to excel is very essential and plays a critical role on the game. It should be couple with a regular routine to improve your performance and abilities. Winning is therefore achieved when you become ready to face all the necessary elements of the game. 

          Hence, put consistency in your game and always desire to improve your performance. And by all these elements, winning then could be at hand to you. 

                                        

How to Become A Winner

          The world of sports is composed of so many facets. And one of these is its similarity to a coin- it is composed of two parts - positive and negative. Any sport's  aim is always winning the game. Hence giving one's 100% performance in any sport is a must. No second level or lopsided performance but rather, everything should be aiming for the best.

          On the other hand, losing in any competition is the other side of the coin. Pain, desolation, downhearted, heartbroken and others are but some of the negative consequences of any loss. Sometimes, a player could ask himself/herself, "What went wrong with my performance? How did it happen when in fact, I have given my best shot?" Other questions could come up in one's mind yet at the very end, this unfortunate result could be a blessing in disguise and it will happen when one says the positive effect of losing.

           That instead of blaming oneself or the worse, blaming others, one will resort to retrospection and assess what needs to be improve or revised in terms of one's approach to the game.

"Better luck next time" is always a seemed compliment afterwards yet there would always be a room for improvement in one's performance.

          Thus one of the best ways to approach any game is to look at it as a means of emerging as a winner- both in winning or losing the game. It's all in the mind after all.
