Lessons from Other Sports about Whatever It Takes

Learn from other sports. In golf or singles tennis, it's all about you. In team sports, put team first.

As an individual:

  • Be a great teammate
  • Make everyone around you better
  • Impact winning
John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal (subscription) shares Jayson Tatum thoughts on last night's Celtics victory:

“It has a lot to do with that I've been here before and we didn't win,” Tatum said. “We're so close to what we're trying to accomplish, why would I let my ego or my need to score all the points gets in the way of that? 

“We always talk about ‘do whatever it takes for however long it takes.’ If I need to have 16 potential assists every single night and that's what puts us in the best position to win and it doesn't mean I'm the leading scorer, by all means, if that gives us the best chance to win, sign me up.”
