One major challenge for any successful coach is to be able to manage the expectations surrounding their team, be it the players within the locker room or by supporters or the media outside the locker room.
In an effort to temper the hysteria that followed the Mexican national team after their 5-0 defeat over the US in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final, Carlos Rodriguez of the AP reports how head coach Javier Aguirre has come out to contain the renewed country-wide enthusiasm in El Tri.
"In Mexico we're prone to throw ourselves on the floor after a loss and later feel very good after victories,'' said Aguirre. "We have to find a happy balance. It's not easy. It's a temptation to be very up - or very down.''
