I agree that regular practice is necessary. I also want to point out that some of the dragon players are getting more and more out of shape now. Please pay a little more attention to your diet as you are getting oler which can help you a lot in the games. Just my two cents, Lao Wang -----Original Message----- From: Chen, Mark [mailto:MChen@santera.com] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 4:44 PM To: Dragon (E-mail) Subject: Approved: Team Practice on Every Thursday 8:00pm Dragons, Here is the stats on the voting: 18 out of current 21 league players voted 'YES'; 1 player voted 'Does not matter'; 2 players have not voted yet (all having yahoo.com address). And 2 Dragon Veteran said 'YES'. No objections so far. So based on the voting results, team Dragon will have regular team practices on Thursdays at 8:00pm PRC. The goal of practice is to, as Scott puts it, "know each other better and improve the level of play, and more discipline and fun". For league players, we will maintain two lists: ToShow list and NoShow list. 1) Players on the ToShow list must notify the team if he is not able to show up by email or by phone; 2) Players on the NoShow list must notify the team if he is to show up. This is discipline. The purpose is to always have enough and adequate players for each practice and to ensure the FUN of each practice. So, the following players would not show normally due to job and family etc.: Ray Han, Eric Zhang, Alex Xing, and BinBing Wang. The rest of league players (17) are being put to the ToShow list. If you wish to have your name listed on the NoShow list, please let me know. Any time the number of players to show drops below ten, the session is to be cancelled if no helpers from x-Dragons etc. are available. So let's start our 1st practice session this Thursday at 8:00pm. Again all Dragon Veterans are welcome to attend the practices without any notices. Go Dragons, -Chen, Si (972)461-4188 (W) PS, We had a pretty bad last-20-minutes game yesterday. We all have SEEN it happen before. It was like a REPLAY. We all know we lost the control and everybody wanted to do something about it, but ...... no body could do anything about it, including myself. That was the problem. My view on it is that our team needs more Disciplines and Emotion Controls of our games to reach full maturity of team Dragon. I am hoping that through practices and more games we could achieve that. We fall, we learn, and we improve (hopefully)! Finally, please, each player think deeply: "what could I have done in the last game to improve the team?" and "what team should do as whole?" Let's bring these thoughts to the Thuresday practices and improve ourselves as a team.
