Hail to the Giants....
Many of the greatest lessons you can learn in life can be learned from sports. I’ve been a sports fan my entire life, and I am positive that the life lessons I’ve learned through sports have made a huge difference in my life.
The New York Giants, 2 touchdown UNDERDOGS, beat the UNDEFEATED New England Patriots 17-14 to win the Superbowl. If you had bet on the Giants to win, you’d have won 4 TIMES YOUR BET!
New England won all 18 games this season, setting records along the way. They were in a league of their own. Before the season began, they were the prohibitive favorite in Las Vegas, and they were living up to their billing.
The Giants were long shots to win the Superbowl prior to the season. They were coming off a mediocre season in 2006, and their head coach, Tom Coughlin, had to interview and explain why he shouldn’t be fired afterwards.
To make matters worse, they lost their first 2 games of the season and were well on their way to losing the third game. Somehow they pulled off a miraculous win, and eventually fought their way back into contention.
When they made it into the playoffs, they were forced to win 3 consecutive games on the road! That’s an amazing feat! They were underdogs in all 3 games, but they managed to win them.
Regardless, they were STILL 14 point underdogs against the Patriots. It was an incredible upset. It was David beating Goliath.
If you ask most unbiased football fans, they will overwhelmingly say that New England had the better talent. Player for player, you’d virtually always take the Patriot player over the Giant.
After the game, the interesting thing was to hear the comments from the players. When asked to explain what happened, to a man, the Patriot players said that they played as hard as they could, and that, for this day, they were beat by a better team.
Success starts at the top. It starts with the leader. With the Giants, it’s their head coach Tom Coughlin. He’s now SUPERBOWL CHAMPION Coach Tom Coughlin. He’s been a successful head coach for over a decade. Year after year, he’s PERSISTENLY been working at his craft with 100% COMMITMENT and PASSION. You do NOT accidentally coach a team to the Superbowl!
What do you think were Tom Coughlin’s goals for the team for 2007?
He wanted to win the Superbowl. He was totally dedicated to the prospects of building a team capable of competing for a Superbowl.
He set up a plan on how he was going to build a team capable of winning the Superbowl.
He assembled a staff of coaches that would help him reach this goal.
Then he went to work.
When things went bad, he worked harder.
He never gave up.
He led by example.
He supported everyone.
He encouraged everyone.
And now, he’s Superbowl Champion Tom Coughlin!
What’s the lesson here?
Know exactly what YOU WANT. Determine your GOAL.
Have a burning PASSION for it. Have an overwhelming DESIRE for it.
Put together a PLAN to get it.
Assemble your TEAM, the people who will HELP YOU achieve it.
Go to WORK.
NEVER QUIT.
Understand the REAL MESSAGE behind this lesson, and your life can never be the same. Miss the message, and you will continue to struggle with money your entire life.
Do YOU want to be a CHAMPION in life?
You CAN be. If that’s what you WANT.
It starts with a PHILOSOPHY of THINKING.
It’s a philosophy I’ve lived my entire adult life, and a philosophy I share with my clients all the time. I hope it can change your life like it’s changed mine.
Namaste.

Sports is much more than moving a ball or a game. Determination and persistancy like life gets the win. A little luck helps.

You have to find what you want in life. I you truely want it you will achieve it. It is hard to drop everything and think about what you want. I have a belief and a idea but not a distinct product or service. I will find what I am looking for and will never give up until I achieve it.
