If you're anything like me, you're always learning from sports - every game, no matter what sport, no matter what level - contains countless lessons. You just have to look for them.
But the NCAA Basketball Tournament is especially notable in this respect. With all the one-and-done games, the seasoned coaches, and the exceptional, young athletes, the lessons sports has to teach us come through more clearly and intensely in the Big Dance than they do anywhere else.
What can these thrilling NCAA games teach us about life and business?
In each game, we’ve seen great examples of simple but very meaningful lessons:
1. Never, ever give up. Did anyone think Michigan was going to beat Kansas like that, besides the Michigan players themselves? It didn’t matter – they believed, and they made it happen.
2. When you work or play with urgency and emotion, good things happen. Almost every game has been an example of this!
3. You can be intense - and have fun, too. See: Florida Gulf Coast University.
4. You can fight like wild dogs on the court and still show class and respect to your “opponent” once the “game” is over.
5. When you stick together and work hard for each other, good things happen.
6. The little things add up; in the end, they mean everything! (the rebounds, the loose balls, the free-throws, etc.)
7. Nothing beats pure hustle. (Are you diving for the loose balls at work?)
8. Being a great teammate is not just about your actions on the court. You have to spur on your teammates even when you’re not in “the game.”
9. You gotta have balls! Someone has to take the shot at the end of the game (or finally close a deal).
10. A big part of winning big is dreaming big.
11. As John Wooden used to say: A player who makes his team great is more valuable than a great player.
12. It seems like, year after year, the same coaches manage to advance deeper in the tournament. What do they know that the others don’t? (For one thing, they stay consistent; they don’t let one year’s early exit change their game plan for the next year.)
Do you strive to embody these teachings in your own life?
What other lessons do you learn watching the Big Dance?
I’d love to hear!

Hello everyone, my name is Frank Lewis from Boston. I was among those who invested a good amount of money and time into crypto trading and ended up losing it all to a fake crypto scam. I was in huge debt and was going into depression until I came across a page pouring out praises about a Crypto recovery company FIRMWALL CYBER SECURITY COMPANY. At first, I was not fully convinced about their service but after losing more than a million dollars to a crypto scam, I decided to give it a try and see how it went, and to my biggest surprise, FIRMWALL CYBER SECURITY SERVICE was able to recover the crypto funds that was stolen from me. Truly, I’m still in shock about it because I thought I had lost it all. I’m very happy to know there is such a company out there to help scam victims recover their funds. I highly recommend their service to everyone out there who needs the same service.
