Most people don’t know Marcel Lacroix’s name, but anybody who watched our Canadian Speed Skating team at the Olympics saw him coaching our athletes. My kids are at the Olympic Oval in Calgary this week in a speed skating camp. He is giving talks to the kids about what it takes to get to the elite level of the sport. As I listened to his talk, I drew a lot of parallels to business and the challenges our clients face in getting to the top of their industries.

I enjoyed the analogy. Teddy Atlas (ESPN Sports, a great Cus D'Amamto-schooled boxing trainer, and a man rewarded as a humanitarian) has been saying this about boxers for years. Some boxers do "just enough" to keep the other guy off of them so they can stay on their feet till the end of the fight - they don't go the extra 50 miles to try to actually defeat the opponent. Good Article!
