Want to be a better manager?  Want some tips for getting to goal?  Here are a couple from the football field.

Let’s start with lessons from a disappointed football team – one that lost this weekend.  What are they doing this week?

Kicking, passing, running, catching, running plays over and over and over. 

But first they’ll watch the video. 

Rick Steinbacher, a former All-American player for Carolina, told us in a Business Class interview a few years ago, that during practice and during games, three cameras film all the action.  Afterwards, coaches and players watch it all, critique it and then return to the field and go back to the basics – kicking, passing, running, catching and running the plays over and over. 

What about a victorious football team?  What are they doing this week?

Kicking, passing, running, catching, running the plays over and over. 

Getting better at the basics – the key activities needed for success.

What about you?  

Have you identifed the key activities needed for success?

Do you tape yourself and your teammates in action?

Do you review & critique the tapes with them?

Do you practice over and over?

After wins and losses?
