You mistake me, sir. I didn't say psychology wasn't involved.

I just said that this guy does not know exactly what the psychology/motivation is -- maybe someone's mother died. That unfortunate circumstance could belie his motivation on a particular day ( positively or negatively ). We don't know the psychology that influences each individual that make up an entire team -- and to assert that you do is BS.

As I said, if we lost this week, then the team will likely be more motivated next week. That's all I am willing to concede.
