This idea is not something they just started teaching now a days. You've heard the famous quote, I'm sure: "Winning isn't everything . . . . It's the ONLY thing". Vince Lombardi famously used this adage on the first day of Green Bay Packers training camp in 1959, although he didn't invent it. It pre-dates his first usage by a decade or more in the 40's in college sports. You should hear stories told by Bill Curry about playing for the Packers in those days. Concussions? You had better play through them or risk getting cut or losing your starting job.
