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 Meyer
and
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.
What's your sport?
