You just have
to ‘tap your caps’ to them.
No matter if
you are a baseball fan or not; even if you love the team or can’t
stand them… you have to marvel at how they did it.
My name is David
Pynn; I’m the guy that helps people grow their businesses.
Amongst my coaching
clients, conference calls and other obligations in October, I had
to take some time and see them do it.
What you ask?
I had to see
the self-proclaimed ‘idiots’ make baseball history.
For those reader’s
not familiar with this story, let me fill you in.
The Boston Red
Sox are a Major League Baseball team in North America. They have
not won their Leagues Championship series (The World Series) since
1918.
Are you familiar
with Babe Ruth?
He was once
a player on the Boston Red Sox and was traded to their hated rivals…
the New York Yankees. Some fans say a curse was born that day, as
since that trade 86 years ago; the New York Yankees have won numerous
titles and World Series victories. On the other hand, the Boston
Red Sox have seen nothing but disaster.
But the faithful
fans of Boston have held true to their team for decades. Some fans
born and died without ever seeing their favourite team win a Championship…
at least until this year.
The Major League
Baseball playoffs are a month long event where a Champion is crowned.
To win the World Series, a team must go through and defeat 3 different
teams in a “best of” format.
Series One is
a “best of 5” format, and Series two and the final series
are “best of 7” formats.
The Red Sox
won their first series against the Anaheim Angels. It went all 5
games, and was a great series. Unfortunately for Boston, the Yankees
won their 1st series and advanced to play them in the 2nd Series.
Let me set this
up for you…
The media was
a frenzy, everything from Babe Ruth and the curse to years past
with the Yankees winning over Boston was all people were talking
about.
Some people
say that this is the best rivalry in North American sport.
The best of
7 format went like this… Games 1 & 2, and games 6 &
7 were played in Yankee Stadium while Games 3 to 5 were played in
Boston.
The Yankees
went on to win the first 3 games of this series, and take a 3-0
lead in this best of 7 playoff. Game 2 made the record books as
the final score was 19-8. It was the highest scoring game in Major
League History.
The verdict
was is… no team in Major League Baseball history has ever
come back from a 3-0 series lead to win a playoff series. The Boston
Red Sox were done. Another year of disappointment for the Boston
faithful, and yet another year where they lost to the Yankees.
Most teams of
men and women would have called it a season. Being down 3-0 in a
best of 7 series brings out many emotions: frustration, disappointment
and even a little anxiety.
But this team
taught me about resiliency remember?
How do you stare
history in the face, and re-write it? Simple… you take it
one game at a time.
To make a long
story short, the Boston Red Sox won the next 3 games to tie the
series and force a final game 7, where they beat the Yankees 8-3
in Yankee Stadium.
These self-proclaimed
‘idiots’ did it. They went on to win the last Championship
Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. It only took them 4 games,
and they made the best team in baseball look foolish.
So how did this
team re-write history? By looking at it as a problem, and working
to solve it. Their problem was everything from a curse to 86 years
of failure to the weight of a city on their shoulders.
How do you concur
a problem… a problem that you may see no way out from and
the chips are stacked against you?
You can break
any problem down into 4 simple steps… no matter how big or
small the challenge may be.
I warn you –
these 4 steps work every time!
1. Intention
– You have to want to change something before you can change
it.
2. Willingness
– Do the things you need to do change an unwanted habit or
trend.
3. Commitment
– Set a rock-solid contract with yourself not to fail no matter
what.
4. Observation
– Take a few minutes each day and observe how the process
is going.
If you are not
happy with the result after a period of time, then change your commitment
and willingness. Intend on working hard to element the situation.
Continue to observe your actions to element any habits that may
let you fall back into the old routine.
Believe me,
it won’t be easy. If it were easy, then anyone could do it.
Whether it’s
quitting smoking, loosing a few pounds, getting out of debt, building
a business or winning a Major Baseball League Championship; these
4 steps can help you focus and concur the issue.
