Analogies Work for Sport Across Many Disciplines

1) News. 

  • Melrose had another successful Play Date traveling to play some top area teams including Westborough, Newton North, Concord-Carlisle, Medway, and Walpole. 
  • Everyone "did their job."
  • Melrose will again stream home games this season. No word on other communities. 

2) Thinking of analogies... (see below)... Miami Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra reminds us that "every team has a pecking order." A player's responsibility is to excel in her role whether that's an offensive or defensive leader or encouraging teammates as a reserve. Be ready for when your name gets called. 

3) Learn how to think across disciplines using analogies. Many consider Johannes Kepler as one of the great analogical thinkers of history. Here are examples from other domains including cooking, business, acting, and more. 

Excerpt:

"Never accept the fact that something is yours." - Sam Jackson

  • Fight for a position every day. Someone is coming for you. 
  • “You had to look at your players and defend every player to the rest of the organization.” (Al Davis philosophy for the Oakland Raiders in Michael Lombardi's Gridiron Genius)
  • Michael Jordan told Roy Williams that he would work as hard as any player ever at Carolina. Williams told him that he had to work harder than that.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
