This Tuesday/Wednesday was some freakin’ magic. All my sports teams are back in school. Yes, to me, we are ONE. They are mine. I am theirs. Feels like they are an extension of me, not something or someone else’s. This is not normal. This is not transactional. This is OPUS.
Together we transform. Always together…
So, yesterday, ONE team learned their warrior status. Another team worked on their explanatory style (how they explain adversity to themselves). Another worked on their one word for high performance individuals and teams. Another worked on where they’ve taken up residence on the dream or dread and do or die quadrants. Another learned the power of a motto, especially the power behind “E pluribus unum.” Another learned confidence is over rated and competence is a controllable. It was freakin’ magic, my friend.
We’ve been working with sports team since 2014. We are just getting started. I have BIGr dreams for each of these teams than I’ve ever had. Doing more about it too. Being kinder, not nicer. All of these teams have players grabbing the BTL reins. Some have more than others. Normal.
My job (no different than yours, leader) is to give them all my very best and empty the chamber. My job is to show up filled up with enough love to let them have it, if you will. This year is going to be a great one with all these teams. We are going to dream and do, together.
They are becoming BTL. I am becoming a Buckeye. Together we transform. Always together. Damn.
Live hard. Love harder…
