The 2019 World Series between the Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals begins tonight. And even though the series hasn’t even started, I know who is going to win.
Here’s my prediction…
(Insert dramatic pause)
The winner of the 2019 World Series will be…
(drum roll)
The team that plays the best.
Let me explain…
The best team never wins the World Series.
The team that plays the best always wins.
The best team in business never wins.
The team that plays the best always wins.
You see, it’s not about statistics, rankings, polls or anything like that. The game isn’t played on paper.
It’s all about how well your team plays.
In sports and business, anything can happen. History has proven that.
Look at all the upsets you’ve seen over the years.
- Buster Douglas over Mike Tyson (Boxing)
- Appalachian State over Michigan (Football)
- USA over USSR (Olympic Hockey)
- American colonists defeated the British (American Revolution)
The Takeaway:
When you’re preparing to compete (whether its in sports or business) forget about the competition. They’re irrelevant. Focus your energy on simply giving full effort and playing YOUR game.
Keeping your focus on this will enable you to play your best, and the team that plays the best wins.
