What are some of the biggest mistakes a player can make during a game?

I will start with these:

A bad attitude
Whining and complaining
Making excuses
Not listening to the Capitan or coach when they tell needs to be done...
Fooling around
Not moving or chasing the ball
Arguing with other players
Arguing with the coach or caption or even worse the ref!

Playing with an injury!

My team had a player a few seasons back that was injured skiing (that story was good too) and played with some sort of tear in his leg muscle; he hobbled on and only lost the finals game for us! Needless to same the team voted him off the island!

You are the weakest link Ba-bye

Ever see someone playing with Knee and elbow pads, Ankle guards, taped fingers and knee or arm weights? This person always gets hurt! This is why the biggest mistake is being over prepaired!

Biggest problem I found was a failure to communicate causing collisions and dropped balls. I love watching the ball between three players, going for the ball or not, drop because no one calls for it and everyone thinks someone else is getting it.

I Love the players that say, that's not my ball! Who gives a crap if that ball was not yours if no one else is near the ball you have to make an effort to play the ball. I played with a girl like that, never again will I ever play in any kind of competative game with her again.

PS VBFOOL That is not a mistake its darn good tactic LOL

Playing with an injury is a good one but playing with a full stomach it worse!

I had once had a player on my team that when a mistake was made, it was never her fault.....even if it was hers, plus she was extremely bossy! I was so happy when she decided to start her own team the next season....it was like good riddance, I wasn't asking you back to play with our team anyway!

I'd say lack of communication is the biggest one and letting someone get in your head a close 2nd
