When are you going to go from a mercurial ally to somebody who actually helps me out Riddell? Why doesn't it compute?

Get the Mercurial allymug. Underconfidence can cost you a game just like overconfidence can. If you have a 4-8 record, you're not usually going into games with too much confidence, the way a team with a 12-0 or a 10-2 record might do. Instead, you are almost to the point where you think losing the next game is the most likely thing to happen, so the little bit of extra confidence you would get from winning more games isn't there. A lot of people think it's ego that cost you a game where you were up in double digits, but if you didn't think you could get up by double digits in the first place, it's not ego or confidence that cost you the game, it was not allowing yourself to continue to believe in yourself when adversity came back. The familiar mindset of failure comes back, the hard part when you're underconfident is not letting it scare you to fail. You want for the game to be a good time for all, but a losing streak isn't a good time.
It was underconfidence that cost them the game. No matter what the coach said, or how much experience he had, they knew it wasn't their egos that cost them the game. A 4-8 record doesnt come with an oversized ego, it comes with a lack of confidence in your ability. Where a little bit of added confidence at times there was a lot of pressure could be the difference at the end of the game. Nobody naturally performs well under pressure. Nobody naturally handles a setback or a loss well. Nobody naturally deals with another person's desperation (to win at any cost) well.

Get the Underconfidencemug. Someone who literally jumps another person they're fucking, and usually there's a lot of flipping, spinning, and swinging (sometimes from trapeze).
The acrobat girl with the caribbean pufferfish haircut would climb up five stories, then jump the girl she was fucking. It was their favorite thing to do when they weren't doing the circus, the girl was the most acrobatic fuck in town.

Get the Acrobatic fuckmug. She would act like a gangster, a badass, tough little son of a bitch from the streets of Chicago, or a tough/scary little 4'11 broad from New York, but in reality the girl was a poser from outside Harrisburg who was nothing like the characters she posed as.

Get the Posermug. Someone desperate to convince the world they are not a prude and dont care what anybody thinks, despite being pretentious and/or superficial.
The poser said he/she didnt care what anybody thought of him/her and that he/she wasnt a prude, but his/her actions showed someone who cared desperately about what people thought of him/her.

Get the Posermug. Spidey-I think there's something else wrong with the guy, my spider sense is tingling.
Other guy-Something else wrong with the guy besides the alien he just gave birth to out of his stomach? What do you know that I don't know spider man?
