How 'Bout Team USA!

Are you watching the Olympics? I've been watching some, and I've learned a few interesting things:

(first of all, you can watch EVERYTHING live and recorded at www.NBCOlympics.com)

1. In soccer, statistically, the other team is more likely to make a goal in the 5 minutes after you make a goal. Do you think that's a technical fact? or do you think that's a mental thing... "Oh no, they scored, we better kick it up a notch and score one on them!" So let's apply that in our business: "Susie Realtor had 3 closings last month...I better kick it up a notch and score 4 so I can win the medal!...I mean so I get paid!"

2. Horses in the equestrian events have their own "Horse Passports" and some horses travel more on airplanes than most humans! Oh, and horses DO get jet-lag!

3. "Trampoline" is an Olympic Sport! (yes, the thing you bounce on!)

4. So is Badminton

5. One of the announcers for the Men's Gymnastics made this comment after one of the (I think) Chinese team messed up. He said: "It matters more how you perform in your NEXT event, how you re-compose yourself, than it matters when you make a mistake." I saw that in one of the American's floor excercises...he messed up on one of the stunts and then he lost his focus and got shaken up and then he messed up on several other stunts AND stepped out of bounds. How do YOU react when you make a mistake?

6. Ping-Pong is also an Olympic sport.

7. Maybe Wii Games will be next! (if you're not hip, that's the coolest video game system EVER!)

Keep Watchin' and learnin' about what TRUE dedication to your craft can look like and then look inside and see if YOU are truly dedicated. If not, maybe it's time to move on. But don't ever give up on your dreams. This year there is a 67 year old Olympian competing in the equestrian events! by the way, the equestrian competition is one of only 2 where men and women compete together (the other is yacht racing!)
