Is hustling in sports a bad thing or a good thing?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24892points) May 19th, 2021

Should one conserve ones energy? Or go out like a madman when the other team plays keep a way?

In soccer, basketball, and hockey mainly.

Should the players fight for every opportunity to go et back the ball/pick?

It’s just sports. It means nothing of importance.

@kritiper Ok then I will change the question to include sports to work.

I was told to hustle in sweeping the floor at the end of my shift 20 years ago. Should one give 100% all the time and make myself ill? Or should I sweep at my own pace? Telling me to hustle takes the fun out of the game/job.

Look at the difference between college players and pro. The college players just run full out every play. The pros conserve.

On a job, if the boss tells you to told to hustle, you hustle. On a team, if the coach tells you to hustle, you hustle.

@janbb I have dizzy spells when hustling. In sports or work. I am not a young kid anymore. I have or had a heart murmur.

Depends on the sport. Golfing hustling is generally not done. Basketball yes.

@RedDeerGuy1 I guess it’s a good thing you aren’t working or in sports then.

Oh! THAT kind of hustling! I thought you meant, like, scrounging up some obscure betting…

It depends on the sport and the position. Generally, we don’t like to see players taking it easy, and hustling can create new scoring opportunities. On another level, conserving energy is valued in some arenas. Short track cycling often starts comically slow, a quarterback in football might seek to control the pace of the game to better read the defence.
