Hopefully, before the start of the season you had your team set goals regarding what they wanted to accomplish. It is important to keep the minds of your players focused on those goals in spite of a set back.
One loss is not the end of the world. Make sure that your players know that the goals they set are still within reach, but in order to reach them they need to re-focus and get back on track. If necessary, adjust the goals to fit your new challenges.
It is all about the big picture. Keeping them focused on what they wanted to accomplish when the season began can keep them positive about the next contests.
