Lessons from Sport

Sport doesn't just teach you how to win. It teaches you how to persist, how to prepare, how to understand that the real work always happens below the surface, in the moments when no one is watching. pic.twitter.com/vb6MqECTk2

"Victory has a thousand fathers and defeat is an orphan." 

Everyone wants to claim success for victory. So much goes into the process. 

• Preparation
• Performance
• Persistence 
• Coaching 
• Leadership 

Exceptional teams have a mission, clear vision, and shared sacrifice in the process. They realize and overcome setbacks. Nothing is guaranteed and skill, luck, and health need to intersect. 

And if success happens in a game, season, or championship, it takes even more work to repeat. "The wind blows highest at the top of the mountain." 

Lagniappe. Practice with "a ball and a wall."
