On Powerful Moments, Simplifiers, and Taking Initiative
July 07 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
A reminder for all the players training for their senior season:
Those moments that seem commonplace…
In the locker room. On the bus. At the team dinner. After a hard practice. Before a big game. On the drive home.
These are the moments with your teammates that you’ll cherish forever. Remember that.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.
– General Collin Powel
