"Dr. Saul Miller a performance psychologist who has worked with teams in the NBA, NFL, CFL, Major League Baseball and 16 national teams in Canada and the U.S. knows about losing. 'It is painful for people with high expectations and pride. If it happens once in a while, fine. But if losing becomes habitual people develop some behaviors to protect themselves.' People on chronically unsuccessful teams adjust. They lower their expectations. It doesn’t hurt as much if you don’t aspire to it. And people start saying, 'Well, I’m doing my job' - the implication being perhaps someone else isn’t."
