What's Your Sport?

Pinned to my wall at work are the following three statements that I picked up from How Lucky You Can Be: The Story of Coach Don Meyerand The Carolina Way: Leadership Lessons from a Life in Coaching.

• "Be alert. Stay calm. Don't be afraid."
• "Do the next right thing."
• "Play hard. Play together. Play Smart."

I believe everyone should play a sport or be a student of a game. The metaphors and life lessons you gain through the world of athletics provide a conceptual framework that make navigating difficult situations easier.
