The Difference Between Winning and Succeeding

ByMatthew

I am trying something different on Fridays: I am going to offer an external resource for your education and evolution.

I imagine most of these offerings will be videos and may require you to set aside a bit of time to view (like when you have your coffee on Saturday morning… ).

The inaugural offering is a TED talk from one of the great coaches and teachers of all time: John Wooden.

Please click here to watch Coach Wooden to discuss the nature of success and the difference between winning and succeeding (and how they’re not always the same thing… ).

I sincerely hope you set aside 20 or so minutes to both watch the video and, at least briefly, consider Coach Wooden’s ideas and how they might apply in your life.
