Brilliant! Perfect analogy between competitive sport and finding success in business.
Since I love building consensus and sales teams focused on winning, your commentary bears worth repeating: "...feeling connected toward a mission, sometimes greater than yourself, is the cornerstone of achievement."
Each endeavor requires:
*max effort, maximize genetics, maximize individual gifts
*self-sacrifice (focus on family, lock arms, lift up/defend each other)
*discipline (on/off-the-field, structured schedule, prioritize actions)
*healthy living (diet, sleep, exercise, practice events, competition)
*respect (selves, your org, support infrastructure, your opponents' skill)
*throw in some self-made "luck" while developing new opportunities
*winning mindset (do whatever it takes to develop this superpower: pray, read, meditate, hire a great coach, program ChatGPT to hypnotize you, etc. whatever means whatever!)
Thank you, Chris - for distilling a key philosophy for success in business into relatable analogy that encapsulates the individual and team commitment required for achieving noble goals. 👊
Recently I spoke to David Isenberg at Ignites about Broadridge's Elite Athletic Management Training Program.
I shared how this program allows our athletes to attain professional and athletic goals simultaneously, providing an opportunity for career security when they’re ready to begin full-time careers.
