On
the TUNNEYSIDE of SPORTS December 2, 2013 #465 Up next..."What's the
"C" stand for?"
After further
review...Recently the teenage son of one of our "On the TUNNEYSIDE
of SPORTS" subscribers emailed me, saying that he had just been
elected captain of his T*E*A*M. He asked what advice I could give him in
order to be successful. Good question.
Firstly, the "C" in
the word captain is important. The "C" represents the word charge
as in, "You are in charge!" That means it starts with you; the
old saw says the "buck stops here" and it's you it has
in mind! Let's look at a few C's that may help define the success for you
and your T*E*A*M.
Credibility is synonymous with believability, which is marked by trust.
Trust starts with you trusting yourself and your good judgment. Good
judgment is doing the right thing every time. Your integrity must
be transparent. No one typifies that word more my lifelong friend and NFL
colleague Art McNally. The NFL recently honored Art by naming its
officiating department's Command Center after him. I wrote many years ago
that "I would play poker over the phone with Art McNally".
That's a goal we all must achieve!
Another C word is courage. It
takes "guts" to step up and be a leader, and that's what you
are as captain - a leader! At times you may have fear in-your-belly, and
that's normal. But you must fight through that fear. In the movie
"Nobody's Fool," Sully, played by the late actor Paul Newman,
asked his fearful grandson "Can you be strong for just one
minute?" In the face of a fearful situation, be strong for one
minute-at a time!
C also invokes companionship.
You can't be a leader by yourself. Steve Young, the San Francisco 49ers
Hall of Fame quarterback, once told me "If you play alone, you'll be
alone!" For any quarterback to be successful he must have good
running backs, strong offensive linemen, as well as a corps of competent
receivers. The same is true for any baseball pitcher, who must have great
fielders and hitters to complement his pitching prowess. You need them as
much as they need you to be their leader.
And finally, the word quit,
(different letter, same sound), something you should never do. The
suggestion here is not to give up on others too soon, especially
when they have a negative performance. That's the very minute when you,
the leader, need to step up and boost their courage and strength. Please
remember that you lead by example, not just by your words!
Will you step up with your
strengths when granted the "captain's" role?
