Day 9 of 7 (Bonus Part II) – The Superbowl of Coaching
You must be feeling pretty darn lucky right now. I am giving you 9 days of value for the price of 7. Make sure I get a Christmas card or something, okay? Yesterday, I asked you: ‘What is your Superbowl?’ Today, I will be describing for you what I see as the Superbowl of Coaching [...]
Day 8 of 7 (BONUS!): Your Superbowl
When a professional football team wins the Superbowl, the players go absolutely bananas and there is a massive party and huge parade in the team’s hometown. The entire city celebrates this achievement and everyone looks so happy and excited. Even non-cordinated, stiff, nerdy white guys are dancing in the streets. BUT… Let’s not for a minute gloss [...]
Day 7 of 7 – Why You Will Probably Not Take Action
I’m sure the last 6 days have given you something to think about and possibly convinced you of the danger in not hitting PAUSE on your busy, high activity life to Review the 1st Quarter and create a Game Plan for the 2nd Quarter. I hope this series has helped you start to become more methodical [...]
Day 6 of 7 – Quick Review and Taking Action
Let’s Review… the Bottom Line is this: If you don’t develop a game plan for your life, someone (your spouse, partner, or parents) or something else (your company, society) will for you. The best time to create this game plan is RIGHT NOW, at the end of the first quarter… not when you wake up [...]
Day 5 of 7 – The Ultimate (and most Painful) Consequence Any Man Can Experience
The Dreaded Mid-Life Crisis Excerpt from an excellent book called ‘The Four Hour Work Week’ by Tim Ferriss: Have you ever seen a man go through a mid-life crisis? I have and it was downright sad. Here is what I saw when one of my friend’s fathers went through this horrible ordeal: At 53, [...]
Day 4 of 7 – The Consequences
I know what’s going on… you are still skeptical about this whole concept. Review the 1st Quarter and develop a Game Plan for the 2nd Quarter? Come on now. Okay, fine… just as in football, there are consequences to avoiding this kind of work. Imagine what would happen to a pro football team (or you) [...]
Day 3 of 7 – Do You Have a Game Plan for the 2nd Quarter?
Yesterday, I asked you how the 1st Quarter of your life went. Specifically, could you give me a 2 minute, high octane, high impact, highlight reel of the highs and low from your Q1? Okay, time for another question: Have you created a solid Game Plan for the 2nd Quarter? Specifically, what is your Game Plan for [...]
Day 2 of 7 – What the hell does Football have to do with my life?
Yesterday, we discussed how you probably did not pay much attention to what happened between the 1st and 2nd Quarter of the last football game you saw. Now, I want you to stay with me as we make a major shift from thinking about what happens on the football field to the field called: YOUR [...]
Day 1 of 7 – The Strangest Question You Have Ever Been Asked
Think back with me to the last time you watched a live professional football game. Remember for a second some of the ‘sights and sounds’ of the experience: What teams were playing? Which stadium were you at? Where were your seats? Who did you go to the game with? What was the crowd like? What [...]
Introduction to a 7 Day Series – Football and the Game of Life
Gentlemen, Football is quite simply a man’s game. It is chalked full of man honouring contrasts: A combination of Brains and Brawn– like full contact chess we get to see men outthink AND dismember each other at the same time. Sharing the same stage are some of the fastest, most highly tuned, quick thinking athletes [...]
