Be the team that gets the calls!

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m an avid college basketball fan. My favorite team, the Duke Blue Devils, is constantly accused of being part of some wide-spread conspiracy that allows them to get nothing but favorable calls from the referees. While the data doesn’t support this, I can tell you why it seems this way.

And, it isn’t because they are cheating.

They appear to get calls because they are constantly attacking. On both ends of the floor, their game plan is to get their opponents on their heels and keep them there. This allows them to dictate the tempo of the game, and forces the other team to adapt and play the game Coach K wants them to. Their opponents are often forced into a situation where game events happen to them, and they have little or no input.

The same strategy applies to life folks - there are so many people who talk about “making your own luck” that I’m not even going to try to locate a quote. I’m just saying if your focus is on moving forward, achieving your goals, and being proactive in your life (i.e. “attacking”) you’re going to get a lot more calls than the guy waiting for the right moment to try to make something happen.

So - get out there and attack!
