At an event at my former university SDA Bocconi School of Management, curated by Dino Ruta, former #NBA pro basketball player Luis Scola said: „Be prepared for the opportunities that will come up. If you are not prepared they will go away.“ What this statement means to him personally and how he is working on his transition is shown in this great article by Mike Vorkunov. #morethananathlete #thinkingbeyondsports #leadership

Willem Kramer: "Aren't you more than a quarterback?" "Huh?" Andrew Luck said. Kramer: "I mean, that's fine -- I guess. What you do on the field is amazing. But aren't you more than that?"

The sports world was stunned. This was a generational quarterback. A quarterback on track for the Hall of Fame. A rare quarterback who seemed born to do what he was doing. This was Andrew Luck.

How could he walk away?

Appreciate the donut guy. I love failures. Look for the tennis player and build the team around. It’s the process, not the goal. It’s all about communication. Be diverse. Reflect, learn, adapt and evolve.

#TomBrady doesn’t need my support to be successful beyond sports. Still I choose him as my first #toot here on #mastodon. He is just an inspiration of what is possible.

The sky's the limit: Just for Tom Brady or for each and every one of us? Tom Brady, an example of what is possible when you consistently and uncompromisingly realize your own potential.

I once sarcastically claimed you had to be born somewhere to represent it now some say since Jeremy Lin was born in the USA, Americans are his ‘people’ & Enes Kanter Freedom shouldn’t expect him to speak on politics since neither are #morethananathlete anyway
