Rachel Dawson's Olympic Blog: Failure won't break us
Posted Aug 11, 2012
We failed, epically. We came here with a plan, and we failed in that plan. We weren’t good enough, sharp enough or disciplined enough. And for our failure, there is no one to blame, no fingers to point and no criticism to deflect. It is on us. Too often, when we needed to stand up and make important plays, we didn’t. And for our performance, we got what we deserved: a playoff game for 11th place Friday morning.
