QB with cig on left lost that game. QB on the right won his game.

Hard times create losers I guess

Wait even in the context of this tweet it makes it seem that the second QB is having a hard time so he’s the strong one

Is funny because sports psychology has been a thing in professional sports for a while now. They make the players read philosophy books and try to coach them on how to get into the right mental state. Mental state is actually a big deal when it comes to peak physical performance. None of this is for altruistic reasons but about winning.

Also checking a players cognition and mood during games can probably help spot signs of injury. Entire reason coaches and owners started giving a fk about all the brain damage and stroking out is losing an investment. Everything from heat stroke to brain injury often comes with behavioral symptoms like confusion. Spot that shit immediately by doing basic neurological assessments, you can treat a player soon enough that you might not lose your investment.

In addition to spotting signs of internal physical injuries or degraded performance… mfkers, spotting signs that a player has deteriorating mental health and intervening also protects the investment. If they attempt suicide, successful or not, that’s a problem. If they become emotionally unstable and commit an act of violence in their personal life (crime) or in-game (foul), that is a problem. Not just losing them to penalty, injury, prison, or death but the damage to the teams brand from the public relations fallout.

“Hard Impacts create Traumatic Brain Injuries”

Fucking wanker. God forbid someone get mental healthcare so they can, you know, calmly analyze their plays and keep their head in the game.

Damn, I wonder why there’s still such a negative stigma around mental health among men

That’s what I really love about the fetishizing of antiquity and medieval masculinity, the guys they’re jerking themselves off over were on average a good half foot shorter than the average modern man.

Cigarettes are better for performance than checking if your QB is on top of his game and can actually throw ball good under pressure.

If anything this just shows the advancement of how competitive it is since you can’t just smoke now, and before you would only sub a QB if he’s already fucking up instead of checking to do it before he fucks up

I mean, they are technically a stimulant. Idk if I’d trade the best coach in college football for a fatty at halftime, but there’s definitely some kind of impact on your performance.

A big part of the coaching game is distinguishing between when your game plan failed and when your players did. Talking to the QB afterwards and figuring out what went wrong is kinda vital to that process.

Of course, you could always just jam a needle full of adrenaline into the guy’s chest and send him back out there. Some people just coach different.
