Falling asleep in Q3 : how do I keep the team focused?
Our 13Bs keep falling asleep in quarter 3 and letting their opposition back into the game. Any tips to keep them sharp and focused? It's a close leader board so we need to find a way to push and rise above. Thanks

Hi Joanna, For most teams the third quarter is the `Championship quarter` so we make sure we put our best team on for that quarter. So, my suggestion is that you have your starting 7 on for quarter 3 and let the whole team know - `This is the championship quarter, this is the quarter we put our foot down.` This works for me with my 13/14Bs.
This is something that I have struggled with before. To overcome it, we decided that the 3rd quarter was going to be "our quarter" we would therefore, despite the scoreline, aim for a win in the 3rd quarter. Perhaps offer a reward at training for a 3rd quarter victory.

Thank you both. I will try these strategies. Much appreciated.
