You Can't Win Without The Ball.

You See, In Sports You Have So Many Things That Aren't Expected. There's So Much Uncertainty. So When Players Find Themselves In A Situation Where Management Has A Great Deal Of Integrity And They Can Depend On My Word Or Anybody Else's Word In The Organization, They Feel Secure.
