Pat Murphy uses climbing a mountain to explain how he wants his team to handle getting closer to its goal. “As you get closer, you just got to keep your footing…you can’t look too far ahead. When you look up for the prize…you might step in a crack or a pothole.” Getting close to a goal can pull a team away from the very things that put it within reach. Players start pressing. Coaches feel compelled to say more. Everyone wants to make something happen. Part of leading in those moments is helping people trust the work they’ve done and stay connected to what the next play (and moment) requires. Keep the goal in view and the next step in focus. 🎥: NLCS Press Conference
