In the past, I think sometimes not taking a break hurts you because we spend a lot of time together for three months. It worked (Tuesday night), so right now it was a good idea.
A lot of times at practice I can't put pressure on them to do their best all the time. So we run to get them (to work) harder in practice. I found out if I could get them to do that during the games, it puts pressure on them to produce and work hard the entire time.
