In a world without live sports to watch, The Last Dance documentary about Michael Jordan and the 90’s Chicago Bulls is a much-needed distraction and a great reminder of what it takes to be a winner. Here are my 23 takeaways from the series:
- Only the people who want to win can win
- And you have to really really want it
- And you’ll need a great team that wants to win with you
- One talent wins some, teamwork and intelligence win it all
- Hard work beats natural talent
- Encourage your team to get on your level
- You can use anger as fuel for motivation
- Find a rival to keep you going
- Set sky-high goals
- And never give up
- A great coach makes the difference
- Find your best version and free it
- Be patient and wait for the right moment
- Be present and keep it pure
- Practice is where the magic happens
- Respect each other
- Show results to get people to believe in you
- Know your strengths and use them
- It’s not a job when you do things you love — it’s your soul
- The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory
- Follow your heart and it will bring you to unexpected places
- No one knows when it will be their last dance
- So always dance like it’s your last
