Every team counts their losses. The good ones study them.

A record tells you what happened and nothing about why. Counting is passive, and it is also the version that hurts least, because you can stare at a number for a long time without learning from it. Studying means going back into the parts you would rather not watch again, which is the only place the lesson is kept.

After the next defeat, pick one sequence and go through it properly: what you saw, what you chose, what you would do instead. Write down the single thing to work on at practice this week.
