𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀? - 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 One of my most vivid memories from my childhood was going to the University of Miami vs Florida State University football game (when BOTH teams were good!), and celebrating with other Miami fans, while surrounded by Seminole fans, when the Canes scored a late touchdown. I remember hugging this giant bald guy decked out with full face paint and Miami gear. I was probably 12 years old at the time, celebrating like mad with a bunch of strangers, most not exactly sober and providing me with an entirely new vocabulary, but we were high-fiving and hugging as though we were the best of friends. A group of people with nothing in common except their passion for the Canes. I’m sure you’ve had a similar moment at a sporting event, or you’ve been at a sports bar when everyone is cheering for the same team on the big screen. You’ve probably seen videos of people in bars going insane when their team wins a big game at the buzzer (I still get goosebumps watching the video below where fans erupt when the U.S. scored a late goal in the 2010 World Cup to advance). These moments capture the magic of sports. It's not just about the game itself, but the emotions and unity it fosters among people. Sports have this incredible power to bridge divides. Regardless of our backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, or languages, when we're on the field or in the stands, we're one. We celebrate victories together, and we share the sorrow of defeats. It’s a universal language that doesn’t need translation. In today's world, where divisions seem to be growing, sports offer a beacon of hope. They remind us of our shared humanity. It's not just about winning or losing; it's about understanding, respect, and camaraderie. Not much compares to the roller coaster of emotions players and fans experience in either the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. But those experiences can have such a powerful unifying effect. And it can lead to real change. So “Why Sports?”, because in business and life, just like in sports, understanding and unity are crucial. They can bring people together. And when we appreciate the strengths and perspectives of others, we not only become better team players but also better human beings. #whysports #unity https://lnkd.in/e5prVC_b

Basketball is a beautiful game, full of surprises, and that’s why we love this game so much. Now, as much as I appreciate those moments myself as a basketball lover, does it mean we have to settle on what’s being done, or can we give ourselves a chance to keep getting better? Because that’s what it is about: chance or luck, whatever you want to call it. But if you want luck to fall on your side, you can’t expect for miracles to happen often. You have to put your team in the best conditions possible, by making the right play, so that you have a higher percentage of success. Obviously Papagiannis’ long 3 that ties the game to go in OT is one of a kind, but before that highlight that owns the social media this Saturday night, isn’t there room for us to help our players make smarter decisions beforehand? - why would Yan Madar send a tricky pass in the paint with 9 seconds left in the possession, being down 1? In the best case scenario you score a 2 and get a 1 point lead, but give the other team the last possession to take control of the outcome… In this situation, it’s even worse because he turned the ball over on that pass. Talking about luck… - why would you go score a lay up on a fast break with 2 seconds left to be up 3, instead of running the clock around the court and eventually throwing the ball up high in the air for the last seconds of the game? Of course, one can say that it is unlucky, and it clearly is when you lose 105-110 after OT because of this, but once again, when you put all the chances on your side, luck will come your way more often. Both teams could and should have managed the last possessions better. Are they mentally prepared to do so? #themindgameofbasketball #wildending #outofcontrol #playersdevelopment #roomforimprovement #mentalperformance #emotionalcontrol #nocriticsjustfacts #noexcusesneeded #makeluckcomegourway #basketballIQ
