On Reflecting After Losses, Mentor Leaders, and Defining Moments
May 18 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
After you lose a game, take time to think. Ask yourself questions like:
Did you give your best physical effort?
Were you fully tuned into the game mentally?
What did the other team do to confuse you or to make it difficult?
Can you use that on someone else in the next game?
There are a lot of questions to ask yourself after a loss, and those should come in place of the more common comments like “The referees were terrible” or “The coach was stupid”.
Good players think. Especially after a loss. That’s how they learn not to lose very often.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Engage, educate, equip, encourage, empower, energize, and elevate.
Those are the methods for maximizing the potential of any individual, team, organization, or institution for ultimate success and significance.
Those are the methods of a mentor leader.”
– Tony Dungy
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“If you’re struggling to make a transition, create a defining moment that draws a dividing line between Old You and New You.”
– Chip Heath
