Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant knew how to get the best out of his players. He explained his secret this way: “I’m just a plowhand from Arkansas, but I’ve learned how to hold a team together, how to lift some up, and how to calm others down, until finally as a team, we’ve got one heartbeat. There are just three things I would say. If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, you did it. This is all it really takes to get people to win football games for you.”
Only a truly big person knows how to take blame and how to give credit. Sometimes, it means being criticized for things that are not entirely your fault. At other times, it means watching from the “sidelines” as others are praised for things for which you are responsible. It is tough to take someone else’s lumps; it is even tougher to watch someone else take your bows. Yet, isn’t that at least a part of what being a TEAM is all about; making others look good while keeping your own humility intact?
Encourage each other! The results will be amazing!
