Focusing on Teamwork and winning!

Good Morning,

 

Living in Louisville, at this time of year, especially this year, one cannot ignore the amazing and gut wrenching journey of the Louisville Cardinals Men’s Basketball Team as they enter the Final Four of the 2013 NCAA Championship for the second year in a row. Many things drove them to succeed in their match up with Duke on Sunday’s (Easter) game.  And for that matter, the Women’s Team which also beat the number one seed.

 

In a post game interview for the Men’s Competition, Peyton Siva shared one of the drivers that helped this team get to where they are now and hopeful for a championship win in the week to come.

 

He said that Pride was the issue in the 2012 season. That the team had to cast Pride out of the door and embrace humility.

 

He said the most important name on each of the team’s jersey’s wasn’t the one on the back (each players name), it’s the name on the front, the team name.

 

Each player focused on being a team, and winning for a single cause, for their injured player, Kevin Ware.

 

These two illustrate two elements for an unstoppable team.

 

·         Being a team, and not individual players.

·         Having a single focus.

 

Both are simple concepts, yet both are often difficult to accomplish. So many individuals out there, with their own goals, vision and focus.

 

Work toward being one.

 

And win.

 

Enjoy!
