A lesson in sport.....


Don't get bitter, get better
After we lost a match of soccer those words came running in my mind
we lost not only because of lack of communication , skill , talent
we lost because the opposition was simply better than us
they were faster , more accurate
they created chances and made them count
they played as a unit in a game of  5 aside , every single player is responsible for each and every single role
from being a striker to , defence , middle fied etc
when you separate the roles
you create a space for blame
a space where everyone can look back and say that is not my fault
that is not part of my responsibilities

As I stood in the middle of the ground and looked at how effortless they beat us
they were just gliding in the field
they communicated , they also did something we failed to do they committed
we lost that match as individuals and they won as a team
when in leadership sometimes you miss some few things and when people who are under you remind you of those things don't demote them, listen
just because you're the leader doesn't mean your ideas are always the best
its a team sport and you must be able to take criticism as a captain and swallow your pride and just listen to your team mates
