The huddle !

Both teams have had their huddle before the match! 

An huddle is a process of feeling connected and affirmed just before a match. There is a pep talk and a final update on the strategy. Often there is a period of silence and bowing together to pray to keep the spirit of sportsmanship during the game! The coach who explained  this process to me helped me a lot to understand how such an exercise is valuable during a stressful period just before a game. The desire is to win the match. But he said, the commitment to the spirit of sportsmanship is supreme. Every match is  a demonstration of the good things of a game that spectators would love to watch and more would feel inspired to learn the game to play. 

Every match is therefore is glorifying the game!

Humans lean a lot form each other when they play in stressful situations and yet with utmost regards to each other. While the teams play to win, they play primarily because they like the game!

So a game is a slow to strengthen ties and relationships. We grow from the help and encouragement we receive from each other!
