Prompt 2
Written Task: What is more tense to be involved in as a player/coach/GM/spectator, a tie game, a game where you are leading by 1, or a game where you are down by 1? Describe all three and decide: what is the most tense you have been watching a close game on stream? (If you haven't watched a stream make something up). Pad your word count until you get to 150+ words. I have never really considered how a coach might feel in a close game. I am sure it could be nerve wracking, to say the least. As a spectator, I really don’t feel any real tension as the game is there to entertain me and feeling tense isn’t part of that. However, from a player’s perspective, close games provoke a whole gamut of emotions as styles of play. In the case where a team is leading by 1, a player would feel some tension in not making any mistakes. Most times players revert to defense first style of play. In the case of a tie game, a lot of the same emotions are present. You don't want to make a mistake, but you also have to take full advantage of any and all offensive opportunities. 2 points is always better than 1. Being behind by a goal promotes a sense of urgency that grows as the time ticks away. Your style of play becomes offense first as, in a one goal game, a tie is only a shot away. |
