And although it will surely bring a chorus of "they are professionals" or "they get paid millions of dollars", but I don't care.  A chickenshit coach never brought the most energy out of his players.  If a participant senses a coach is just playing not to lose (or worse, not to lose badly...see Baltimore game, Jacksonville game), then the participants will be as flat as Kansas.

It is human nature.
