Time For A Time-Out
A time-out in football is a break in the action by either team or an official. It gives both teams a few seconds to gather themselves and strategize their next plan of attack. It can be prompted by the officials to give them time to analyze a play and make a determination. It gives the fans a lull in their adrenaline rushes.
A team can prepare for time-outs by orchestrating plays that gain large chunks of yardage. A team can also conserve their time-outs by simply moving the ball down the field… Continue

Cocky vs Confidence
There is a big difference between being cocky and having confidence.
Cocky is bold, brash, and brazen along with sassy and saucy. There is self-confidence well hidden under the behavior but it manifests itself rudely most of the time.
Self-confidence is confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities. It's being secure and having assurance in oneself. Self-confidence is sexy. Self-confidence is classy.
When we look at many athletes, we only see their cocky side; their swagger, the sly… Continue

5 1/2 Steps for ReGrouping After A Setback
Usually my blog posts have a football theme but I am going to deviate from that today. This week I experienced a client setback which resulted in losing that client. Not an easy thing to admit. My client sent me an email, basically demoralizing my work and effort, and then pitting me against a competitor with a much greater base of knowledge and experience. It was like a Pinto being pitted against a Lamborghini.
Don't get me wrong...I don't want to stay a Pinto, but I'm just beginning my solopr… Continue

It Takes Guts
We've all heard the cliches, "spill your guts" or "that took a lot of guts" or even the age-old response of kids as they watch a scary movie, "Gross, that guy's guts were laying all over the street!"
I was thinking this morning about guts. Not the gory kind, the internal strength kind. I was thinking about football coaches who call the "gutsy" plays. I thought about the pro players who execute those plays with the determination of a bull in a ring staring down a man waving a red cape. I admit,… Continue
