There is one factor that plays a major role in success and failure in team sports.
That factor is confidence. Professional players have been around. In order to get to the level of a professional players they have seen good and bad.
They know talent. They know talent because they have competed against talent in order to become a professional.
Receivers have played with different quarterbacks. They have watched different quarterbacks. They know what great looks like.
So does every other player on a team. There is no fooling them. As a teammate when you practice you see. When you play games you see.
When teams become good and start winning confidence builds. They begin to believe in the team.
The Browns this season have to get to that point where they expect to win. As camp approaches and the hard work begins at some point before the season begins they need to build that confidence. Good practice and good preparation will help. Coaching counts.
The early part of the season is important. Winning is important. Losing is important. You can not fall behind especially if you have been a losing team.
IMO the Browns need to start fast. They need to win in order to believe they can. IMO this camp should set a tone. Urgency to win. I think by the end of camp the players should know. We are in it to win.
If the Browns can start fast and win games early it will go a long way for them to have a successful year.
