Happy Birthday, Coach Belichick
On Saturday, New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick will turn 70 years old, many of these years spent roaming an NFL sideline.
Much like a young chess prodigy, Belichick began his career as a novice, learning his craft, gradually improving his ranking until eventually becoming the grandmaster of NFL coaches. He has won six Super Bowls as a head coach and has played a significant role in two others as a defensive coordinator. He shows no signs of slowing down or losing his passion for the game he has mastered.
While we cannot send Belichick a present to celebrate this momentous occasion, we can share some of the leadership gifts he has given us.
- Be multi-dimensional in your knowledge and skills, BUT NEVER multi-task. Focus with intense concentration on the task at hand.
- Always evaluate individual and team performance — large or small immediately. Learn what went well and what failed and always be brutally honest. Search for ways to improve and have a growth mindset.
- Always solve problems with deductive and inductive reasoning. Never settle for the easy solution, look for answers no one else can find.
- Be authentic in every part of your life, be comfortable in your own skin.
