He explains beautifully how pushing yourself in training and in matches (in the run up to big tournaments like the world cup) is like making 'deposits in the bank'. He cites the example of how they chased down 315 (a huge score then!) He says that it is a classic deposit in the bank in preparing for a world cup because if they were to be in that position in the world cup they would not be lost. They would know what exactly to do because they would have been in that situation before.
Similiarly in Ultimate. As a team, practice starting a a game 0-4 down instead of 0-0. Only 100% throws. Come back from a 'bad start' until you are comfortable with it. Let it become muscle memory.
Do you know how your team will play on universe point? Is it the same as when they play when they are 7-1 up or when they are tied at 6-6?
Create game situations, mimic tournament games. Make deposits in the bank.
