October 19, 20159 yr comment_162047 I'm a believer that you have to learn how to win. Making the playoffs with a team that is not quite ready helps you next year. Penn State sports psychologist David Yukelson: "Learning is what competition is about," said Yukelson, a past president and fellow in the Association of Applied Sports Psychology. "Fans are about wins and losses, and I get it. But really being in that situation gives you the experience of knowing what you need to do the next time. The speed of the game, how to play against an opponent, the weather, how to handle pressure. By being in that experience you can use what you learned -- if you're motivated the right way."
