PHILOSOPHY: PART 6

The next bullet in my philosophy is about keeping a positive turnover ratio.

Turnovers are the biggest factor that can swing a game. That's not to say that if you recover a ball you can rest easy but the numbers are in your favor if you stay in a positive ratio. We want to have a plan to stay on the winning side of the turnover battle.

Turnovers are going to happen. If you play enough games the law of averages says someone's going to fumble and interceptions will be thrown. We want to make the other team pay for turning the ball over and we want to do everything we can to avoid turning the ball over ourselves.

Statistics show that if we can keep a positive turnover ratio when we'll be scoring more than the other team and that means we'll be more successful.
