Insight into Facilitation

I was watching a college football game the other day and a historically bad team had just played a phenomenal game. The announcer asked the coach what was to reason for this turn around. The coach humbly replied that the team had started to believe in what they were trying to accomplish and began taking ownership and control of the program. Training activities and weight lifting sessions that were such a choir for the coaches to get the players to engage in with 100% effort were willfully pursued by the players. The players themselves began monitoring compliance of team rules and quality training habits. The coach said that once this change occurred he noticed that performance on the field had improved by leaps and bounds.
