Tonight we play on the road. A question I often look for answers to is why is it so much more difficult to win a game on the road? Shouldn't it be that the better team should win no matter where the game is played?
Our team this year is a completely different team at home than on the road. We play with more confidence, play with more toughness, and fight through adversity when at home. On the road we splinter quickly. We do not come out with the same intensity. We are a different team.
So the question is, "Why?". It is one that I can not find a correct answer to. However, I hope that it is not something that the players expect...example: we are not playing at home and everyone struggles on the road, therefore we will struggle on the road.
So, as a coach do you try to fight this idea of struggling on the road by discussing it and making a point of it, or do you actually legitimize the idea by making a point of it in the first place.
Every coach ultimately wants consistency in everything. We need to find an answer as to how we can be as consistent on the road as we are at home.
