Here's the exciting news about the month of April. There is no weekend that passes without an exciting sports event; we've reached the playoffs for the NBA and NHL and baseball is in full swing. The days of drinking beer, eating nachos, basking in the Sunday afternoon sun, watching Tim Lincecum pitch have just begun. But what's a game as a fan if your team doesn't win? Are you still on the band wagon? I will be the first to admit, I love winning and hate losing. It's hard to comprehend coming so close to victory but falling short. Goals are meant to be acheived, but how do you deal if you don't meet them? Professional athletes do. They get paid a lot of money to be mentally tough. The San Jose Sharks are down 0-2 in the Playoff Series to the Anaheim Ducks after losing 2 home games. So where are their heads at right now? How do you as a professional team mentally prepare to be the underdog? The way they handle the pressure will determine their result; and I hope that means a series win.

My team, Golden State Warriors, was far from making it to the play offs this year...I'll watch the NBA finals and maybe a couple of the play off games but it's just not the same when "your" team is not playing...I'll be heading to a few of the Giants games soon and though it's most enjoyable to see them win, I value most the time shared with friends at the game. :)
