I’ll admit it. I am a
fantasy football fan. It gives a whole
new approach to how you watch a football game.
Cheering on players when they run for 10 yards, but getting mad at your
favorite team for scoring a touchdown using the second string running back.
Going into the weekend I had the number one seed in my
leagues' playoff. I was planning how I would be spending my winnings. So come Monday morning, when I find myself
trailing by 20 plus points and only a merger 12% chance of winning I thought it
would be a good time to reflect on life lessons that I could learn through
fantasy football.
#1) Consistent
success takes INTENTIONAL strategy: Starting from draft day (think our pre-service
days in August) you have to set a plan and goals. Then determine how we reach those goals.
#2) You have to take
some RISKS: Learning from mistakes,
take some risks on some new young players (new teaching strategies) and being
willing to make some mistakes.
#3) Plan for the
FUTURE: It’s a long season, you are
thankful and happy about winning each week (formative assessments) but you need
to focus on getting into the playoffs (Unit Assessments) and then playing for a
championship game (Iowa Assessments).
#4) Get some
coaching/advice: Although there is
some luck involved, to build a winning lineup it takes research, tips and
advice from successful fantasy football champions (instructional coaches).
So what Life Lessons have you learned from Fantasy Football?
