competitive, focused: that's what Sensei was looking for. ;-)

I'm pretty sure his players have a peculiar idea of what it takes to be a rock star. But being "active 24/7" at least means they want to be competitive. Wanting to play with all strength, at least for the whole match, doesn't sound like such a bad attitude.

Let's face it: thinking about potential slogans school kids can come up with, I think you got away _very_ well! And Bill makes a good point: without knowing the whole story, it does seem like a Dilbert story, where senior management orders junior management to come up with a strategy, and on handing the results in, yelling back that "no, you did not guess our thoughts right!"


The Proverbial Wine, Women and Song, not that there is anything wrong
with that. :-)

Carpe diem!
