I think that when coach Bright says that she means that they can beat their opponents with ease as long as they don't get overconfident or they don't start getting penalties called on them.

I belive that Betty Bright meant to say that the other team cant let you down only you can let yourself down. By letting yourself down you let everyone else around you down. So in other words no one else can make you feel bad but you. Which also means try your best and dont give up at what you are aiming for.

I think what Coach Bright means is that if the team can't work as a team, they will make it easier for the other team to score a goal.

I think that Betty Bright means that if you go out there and play your best you can only lose if you play bad because the other team can't beat you.

Honestly I think that the coach means your letting them take the win by thinking they would win,as if to say you should be confident that the win is yours no mater what and that no one can take that away

I think that sentence means that no team can beat you if you try your hardest. If you do not try your hardest they will beat you. No one can take out the pride in you unless if YOU let them. =D

I think that Coach Bright means that you're better than this team and the only way that they can beat you is if you let them. Lots of my coaches have said this at the beginning and half time of the game.

I think Coach Bright's quote means that nobody can beat you what so ever (any other team in the state). The next part means that you can only beat yourselves by getting better at the sport of soccer.

I agree with Ethann when he says that he thinks that she meant that if you dont play your best your best then you will never win. The other team didnt beat you you beat your self.

J Ordway, I think what you were mostly right except for the other team letting yourself down part. I believe its more of that they only beat you because your willing to let yourself down.

I think that coach ment that the team they were playing couldn't beat them, but if the Tangerine players psyched themselved out and didn't play as hard as they could, they would lose.

I think coach bright means that they as a team decide if they win or loose by playing there best or there worst.

I think coach Betty Bright means that they are a good team and no team should be able to beat them except them by messing up or jerking off in school and practice.

I think the Charactor that i am most like is Paul. I think i am most Paul because i would do anything just to play the sport i love. Although i dont play socccer i do play softball. And i would just do anything to play it. Even if it ment switching to a rival school. We are also alike because i try to be perfect and and if i dont do well or mess up on something big i would throw a fit or get very upset with myself.

I have heard many coaches and players say this before. Most games are won by the player or team that scores the most runs, goals, or points. The only way I can see a team or player beating themselves is in games that permit the movement both ways on the field of play. In the game of baseball, for example, it is not possible to beat yourself because you can't score a run for the other team. In football, soccer and hockey you can beat yourself by scoring goals for the other team. This hardly ever happens because coaches are always warning players not to beat themselves.
