Don Shulas was a successful coach in the NFL, for Miami Dolphins.
Don had a twenty-four hour rule. He allowed himself, the team and the players twenty-four hours of reflection after a game. Either to celebrate victory or cope with defeat. During that time, they were encouraged to feel the joy of victory or the pain of loss as deeply as possible.
When the twenty-four hours had passed, they put it behind them and focused their energies on preparing for the next opponent, the next opportunity.
This is a principle worth noting, I think.
Don’t get cocky and arrogant when you win.
Don’t collapse when you fail and lose.
Put both your victories and your failures into perspective!
Success doesn’t last forever, and failure is not fatal.
