Every time a new football season starts, I’m reminded how much I need to improve the way I handle and respond to life’s misfortunes and everyday setbacks. In the NFL, whether it’s a season-ending injury or a game-changing play, coaches and players are quick to accept one of life’s harsh realities… shit happens.

Coaches realize that the decisions and opportunities that lie ahead of them are way more important than anything that’s already happened. They literally don’t have time to dwell on the “what if’s” or the “why me’s”.

These professionals deal with the bad cards they’re dealt and move on quickly. They understand that it’s just “part of the game” and quickly look to their team for the “next man up”. Sure, they get upset. They get stressed out. But they don’t carry on and get stuck. They get back up and move on.

How do you respond?
