I referee youth and adult soccer games. Towards the end of each game a player will ask the referee how much time is left in the game. They do this because the referee is the official time keeper and they want to know how much time is left either to score or hunker down on defense. There are two kinds of players. One type when learning of the remaining time absorbs the information and continues to play with the additional information. The second type, when learning of the remaining amount of time, informs all his/her teammates and sets the strategy/goal for the remaining time. In my experience, there are far too many of the first type and not enough of the second type. Which one are you? Here’s a brief story you may want to use/embellish.
