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!

The need for more legitimate hacking companies are rising each passing day because of the magnitude of scams being run on the Internet. I know what I went through before I was able to contact Osecybersailing to work on my case after getting scammed multiple times and trying to retrieve back my lost investment funds. After I have invested $670k usd with a fraudulent crypto investment company and i lost everything in the space of one month and got scammed again and again trying to find a solution which wasn’t easy to come by given the circumstances that brought about the incident, getting scammed multiple times is never a good experience for anyone involved which was what exactly happened to me when I got scammed investing into crypto currency. Many posing on the Internet as hacking companies aren’t really what they are because most of them are scammers waiting for a prey to devour, I got referred to reach out to Osecybersailing through a friend and after I investigated about their legitimacy I came across many of their testimony from their satisfied clients that got their lost investment funds retrieved working with this legitimate and evergreen hacking institute which also changed my story helping me retrieve back my lost investment funds. Many of the testimony really were saying great and worthy things about how the company saved them from financial loss, I decided to hire them after many consideration and they didn’t disappoint me by making the choice of choosing them after what I have experienced lately trying to get my funds back from the scammers. They proved they can be trusted with the recovery of lost investment funds which is why I wrote this down for other victims of scam who wishes to ever retrieve back their lost investment funds to let Osecybersailing solve their case, they’re worthy and has what it takes to restore back your funds and peace of mind.
