The Linchpin That Preserves Your Team’s Chemistry
March 21, 2016
Once there was a football team who overcame an upset loss to a rival and made it to the playoffs, only to lose in the semi-finals.
The following year, they lost to the same rival, again overcame the loss to make it to the playoffs, but this time, they won the championship.
Obviously, I’m talking about the Alabama Crimson Tide’s 2014 and 2015 seasons. They found themselves in the same scenario in two different years.
When I was 10 years old, I went on my first sleepover to my Irish Catholic friend’s house. Approaching the carport, I heard a commotion and was shocked to see the whole family of ten gathered, watching their two youngest kids in an all-out fist fight, and Mom and Dad making bets with the others on the outcome!
I consider myself to be somewhat “old school.” That term carries different connotations, and whether it’s good or bad depends on how you mean it. I’m proud of my old school leanings because it means I respect good traditions, appreciate my heritage, and stick with tried-and-true ideas that have consistently led to success in the past.
