On Playing Low, Reinventing the Wheel, and the Road to Success
Apr. 07 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
Too many players play tall. That makes them slow.
Instead, try this — get down low and be an athlete.
Have you ever watched a boxer box?
Have you ever seen a third baseman prepare for a pitch?
Have you ever noticed a tennis player’s stance before receiving a serve?
Play low so you can react quickly.

LEADERSHIP LESSON
Before we reinvent the wheel, it’s worth looking back to leverage what we’ve already figured out.
– Lessons from Shakespeare
LIFE PRINCIPLE
The road to success is not a straight line traveled by great thinkers who are careful not to make any mistakes. Instead, it is a jagged maze of wrong paths taken by persistent doers.
