Care Advantage, Inc.’s Post

Having grown up in the Larry Bird era, at my grandfather’s knee as he watched the TV broadcast of Boston Celtics games with Johnny Most’s radio call popping and fizzing out of his AM radio (the radio call is always better), I am a lifelong Green Bleeder. Even with the Sox and Pats’ success over the past 20+ years, the C’s have always been my favorite hometown team. And while there’s plenty to celebrate any time a team you care about wins a championship, I find myself feeling both notably proud and tangibly inspired by two particular facets of this squad: 1. Their resilience/willingness to learn from past failures, to grow, adapt, and achieve. Especially after last season’s ugly exit and a subsequent roster re-boot. And 2. The construction and composition of this roster, proof that combining players that FIT together, compliment one another, and bring team-oriented intangibles delivers more long-term value, especially in challenging situations, than the “Superstar Stacking/Big Three” approach. They are, in every sense, a true “team”, not unlike their mid-80s forebears. Many lessons to be learned here, personal and professional, to be sure. Which is always an important upside of the occasional absurdity of sports fandom. Bring on the duck boats…again! #teamwork #leadership #softskills #fit #bleedgreen #banner18 #nbafinals

#blackhawks #nhlhockey My 3rd son, Eamon (1st year Mite), was our last of the Richard boys to participate in a Chicago Blackhawks game intermission competition. Playing on the same ice as your boyhood idols will be a long lasting memory. I was able to participate 35 years ago in the #hartfordwhalers mini one-on-one as a Squirt and it drove me to dream throughout my playing career. So what is the big picture in all of this? - Competition is healthy. - Competiton grows friendships. - Competition and knowing the score forces humans to think about being better. - Competition creates gritty life habits and a never quit attitude. - Competition forces your to lose over and over, which I believe creates #reslience and #emotionalintelligence - Competitiveness requires a long-term plan as athletes play a sport for years before knowing their ultimate value in college and beyond. To get the most out of our professional careers we must learn to ‘play’ business like a long-term game. #reputation matters, your compete level matters, how you treat your teammate matters, your continuous improvement is the game changer. Fun doesn’t need to end after high school sports. Compete each day of your life for something greater. #constructiontitan ⛰️⛰️🦺🦺🦬🦬 #constructionlife #sports #competition #hockey #nhl #ncaa #youthsports #constructioncareers #lifeskillsforkids #business

It's the jersey, the club, the family and history... All of these things are former New Zeland player Sean Fitzpatrick's comments on playing rugby. Demonstrating dedication and passion for the game. "When you pull on that jersey, you're not just playing for a rugby club, you're playing for a family and a history that goes back over a century." In my opinion the words empahise the importance of teamwork, love of the job, the perseverance and camaraderie that are important to Sean. Do you know what is important to the individuals in your team, what makes them tick or where their boundaries are drawn? If you can't answer yes, maybe consider asking them at your next one - to - one with them. #managementdevelopment #managementtips #managementskills

If you had pulled into the Red Bull Racing parking lot on any given day and saw the unmistakable enjoyment and fun we were having, you probably wouldn't have thought we knew anything about excellence or success. Anyone outside of Red Bull Racing would have probably thought they were pulling into a circus. The truth is, however, that we had two outstanding pit crews and even won the 2008 World Pit Crew Championship. We experienced the highs and lows of every young team in our first few years, but by the third year ... let's just say our contracts went from performance-heavy bonuses for every fast pit stop to strictly salary. No one blamed them: we would have been paid way too much. Of twelve top-level athletes, more than half were offered jobs from the big NASCAR teams, which included big raises-but no one left Red Bull. Money can get you many things, but it doesn't buy environment.
