Play with compassion

A teammate of mine with the Washington Mustangs (a minor league soccer team) said that in 1996 while delivering a pregame pep talk in Nashville. He was trying to encourage us to play with passion and refuse to lose--not as his words indicate, to "play soft" and "hate to win." We lost 1-0 and never heard that speech again.- Jan
