In football, there is often a rivalry between a team’s offense and defense that must always be kept in balance, because winning teams realize that the offense and defense are inseparable. PR programs should be developed with this in mind, too.

Too often, crisis plans are prepared in isolation of an organization’s proactive communication efforts.

Thus, our formation for next game on 10/1 will be the usual => 3-2-2. Hopefully, take lead and drop back to 4-2-1. Protect goal. If we have substantial advantage we can switch to 2-3-2 formation which gives us an EVEN balance. Starting Goalie will be Corbin, Hayden, Savi or Tristan. Brian & Blake are backup goalies if we get in trouble.
Even though it is disappointing to lose…
Every great team needs to endure a loss or two because it teaches you humility, sportsmanship and it’s a great learning experience (figure out where you can improve).
