 Here are 9 lessons from March Madness underdogs. Number 1. They live by the mantra, believe or leave. Number 2. They use their timeouts to calm down, rest and or strategize, not to ruminate over mistakes or live in the past. Number 3. They break the entire game down into many four minute games. They only aim to win the next four minutes. They don't focus on winning the game. Number 4. They don't worry about the play that just happened. They put their focus on the next play, the play right in front of them. Number 5. They have incredible bounce back ability. They respond well after a turnover or a miss shot. Number 6. They know basketball is a rhythm game. Their team's goal is to establish ours and disrupt theirs. Number 7. They live off of momentum and they create it by doing the little things, like boxing out, sprinting the floor and making the extra pass. Number 8. They acknowledge that it doesn't matter who scores, all that matters is that we score. And number 9. They are crystal clear on what they do well and what their strengths are and they stick to their game plans. Enjoy the madness my friends.
