Serendipity Sports The Human By Condition DbU Suocns People have always been like this cant P6 seem to escape the Maybe they just for not. How do you explain a lousy performance by a good player? Why do they have a bad day? Is it biorhythms? Is it mental? Is it explainable? Is it just the human condition? Please consider the following examples: The Jazz go to Boston and play like they have never seen a basketball game. Why? Boston is not a good team. The Jazz thumped them a week earlier. Did the Jazz overlook the Celtics? Were they tired? Was it too late or too early? it bad food, or the airline Could it be lack of concentration, or not enough sleep? Were the trees falling the wrong direction? Who knows, any way they lost It was embarrassing. How can Utah, the conference champion, lose to Airforce? On paper, Utah should beat Air Force by twenty five. How could they be that bad? Was it the coaches fault? Were they over confident, or was it just the human condition? Is that how we are?

Whats the cause? B.Y.U. plays the Air Force two day later. They knew Utah lost to the future pilots, yet they also give a poor performance. Why? The conference championship is on the line and still the run slowly and shoot poorly. They guard no one. Their eyes look glazed and the coaches cant seem to motivate them. Theyre in a stupor. They are lucky to win by one point. Such is the human condition. Why? No one seems to know the answer, certainly no me, or you. It happens every spring and some times in other season. Some say its a bad hair day. Its the Human " Condition. "We are just as Simons Says: as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.
