Why The Giants Won


I'm not a football expert. So I will not get into the exact
reasons why the Giants Won.

However, I think it's a great occasion to talk about some of
the things that makes a championship team.

According to author William Warren, Championship teams...

- Have a common goal
- Don't let temporary setbacks deter them
- Work harder to achieve more
- Don't blame others
- Surround themselves with good people
- Concentrate on priorities
- Set realistic goals
- Don't underestimate themselves
- Have discipline
- Build a sense of "teamness" in everything they do

And you could probably double the number of items on that list.

I think that there are three key lessons from that victory that we
can do that do apply to softball:

1. A game is played on the field; not on paper
2. Defense wins championships (isn't that true in softball?)
3. Preparation is key


Play hard.

Defense wins Championships, Offense wins games.

I love it when the underdog wins!!

They played a better game than their opponent.

I just finished reading Tony Dungy's book, Quiet Strength. Lots of info in there about his winning philosophy. He learned a lot from Chuck Noll when Tony was an asst. coach for the Steelers. This is one of my favorite Coach Noll quotes from Tony's book:

"Champions become champions not because they do something extraordinary, but because they do the ordinary things better than anybody else."

I don't know how many times in the book Tony tells the Colts players, "We do what we do."

BTW - Every Colts fan in the state of Indiana was rooting for Peyton's little brother.
