Double post
1 time at band camp, we took it up the ass from the opposition when we should not have.
Congratulations, this made me literally LOL. Big fan of Alyson Hannigan's work.
But to deal with your serious point: mental fortitude in the way I understand it expresses itself as consistency. Would our biggest spruiker say we´ve been consistent, rather than running hot and cold?
I would suggest that with the exception of teams at the pointy ends of the competition ladder in most sports, that would be par for the course that teams have up and down games in the mental department. Those whom have less 'on' games, would probably tend towards the bottom of the table and the opposite for those that have more 'on' games. When you look were we finished - 4th and in the running for 2nd, mental toughness would not necessarily be an issue with this team however there are the odd example where they have proven and disproven it.
