Matt and Sioux-z answer the following questions from social media: 1) How do you help someone on game day that cracks under immense pressure and if there's any sense of doubt, it just grows? 2) What do you do with athletes that you can't have a good relationship with? How do you pick your battles? 3) When might you consider going up after missing an opener? Does it vary for equipped vs. raw?
