A team that is focused on not being the worst program of the last decade shouldn’t have time to think about the message they send by refusing the handshake.
The only message that matters is to stop sucking and start winning these countless games we give away entirely due to a lack of focus.
Get your team, every single player and coach, focused on doing their job on every single play of every single game, with zero deviation.
That is the standard. Anything less is for the losers we have become.
We’re an embarrassment on the field, and that’s what counts.
We didn’t “win” the hero’s handshake, and we were never going to win the game when junior high maturity is what we display.
