Getting back in the Game!!

 Ok the last couple days have been pretty rough. But I have come across some words of wisdom that I want to share with everyone.


I have heard from many sources that Bill Walsh was a coaching and leadership genius and here are his tips on how to get back in the game:

Bill Walsh's Five Do's for getting back in the game:

1. Do expect defeat. It's a given when the stakes are high and the competition is working ferociously to beat you. If you're surprised when it happens, you're dreaming; dreamers don't last long.

2. Do expect yourself to stop looking backward and dwelling on the professional "train wreck" you have just been in. It's mental quicksand.

3. Do allow yourself appropriate recovery - grieving - time. You've been knocked senseless; give yourself a little time to recuperate. A keyword here is "little". Don't let it drag on.

4. Do tell yourself, "I am going to stand and fight again," with the knowledge that often when things are at their worst you're closer than you can imagine to success. Our Super Bowl victory arrived less than sixteen months after my "train wreck" in Miami.

5. Do begin planning for you next serious encounter.  The smallest steps - plans - move you forward on the road to recovery. Focus on the fix.


Bill Walsh's Five Don'ts:

1. Don't ask, "Why me?"
2. Don't expect sympathy.
3. Don't bellyache.
4. Don't keep accepting condolances.
5. Don't blame others.
