With College Football just around the
corner I can feel the excitement build. It represents so much more than a
game, College Football means a fresh start, a new year, a reunion with
friends, and a deep loyalty to your favorite school. So many people I
talk to love this time of year, including my Wife. I would have to
admit, I’m pretty geeked up for the season to start as well. Whenever we
watch football there is nothing that irks us more than when our team
throws an interception or fumbles the ball. But have you ever noticed
how much more lenient coaches are with interceptions versus fumbles?
They expect their players to hold on to the ball. But the reality is we
all drop the ball once in awhile. So it isn’t a question of whether or
not we will ever fumble, it becomes a question of what to do when we do
drop the ball. Here are 3 suggestions:
2. Admit: Don’t run over to the sidelines and start making excuses as to why you dropped the ball. Don’t start pointing fingers at him or her and blame shifting. Admit you dropped the ball, accept responsibility, and own up to your mistake.
3. Grow: Learn from your mistake. Listen to the coaches in your life on how you can prevent yourself from dropping the ball again. Heed instruction, gain knowledge, and seek wisdom. Reflect on why you dropped the ball and come up with a game plan that you can execute to help prevent you from dropping the ball in the future.
