Summary
Our attitudes on how we approach or what we define winning as sets the stage for success across all endeavors.
Winning is putting points on the board until the very last second. Being so driven that you constantly seek ways to do better, push harder, find more, etc…
This is my attitude towards winning, it does not ever change per scenario or circumstance. Sportsmanship, Tolerance, Balance come into place on the situational level. But never be confused about the mindset that values WIN vs win.
LESSONS:
You have one life, how many points are you going to put on the board?
14-13 is a ‘good enough’ mentality.
Winning is about Max Effort

| 0:18.0 | Winning to you is probably at the bottom of the fourth quarter. |
| 0:22.0 | You're down by two points. You pull up on a |
| 0:24.9 | 35-yard line. You kick a field goal as the clock is ticking down to zero and you end up |
| 0:29.7 | winning by one point. Great, we won. We go back to the locker room showers but slaps high |
| 0:35.1 | fives everybody's happy we won the game. I'm not satisfied I'm not happy with |
| 0:41.4 | that we didn't really win I mean the points might suggest that we came out ahead, but let me talk to you about what winning is. |

| 1:00.0 | In the very first play you do, it's a special options play, one of those flea flickers, |
| 1:04.0 | rasm and you go down one play, you're in the end zone, you put another six points on the board. |
| 1:09.0 | Now it's 57 to 0. |
| 1:11.0 | And then you know what you do? You don't go for 1 point, you go for 2. That's winning. |
