0 of 5 cards declassified
  1. 1 of 5. YOU’VE ALREADY LOST AND GONE AGAIN.

    In sport
    You’ve lost games and had bad days, and you still showed up to the next practice.
    On this job
    Most people you talk to will try to shut you down. The next person doesn’t know how the last one went.
  2. 2 of 5. YOU’RE COACHABLE.

    In sport
    You’ve taken feedback from coaches for years, and you used it.
    On this job
    One study of 271 outside sales reps found performance was highest in reps who were competitive and coachable, with a manager who developed them.
  3. 3 of 5. YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THE REPS.

    In sport
    Skill comes from repeating the basics, day after day, until they’re automatic.
    On this job
    There’s no trick here. Results come from the same actions done every day, even when you don’t feel like it.
  4. 4 of 5. YOU’RE USED TO A FULL SCHEDULE.

    In sport
    Practice, lifting, film, travel, class. You already run your days on a tight clock.
    On this job
    Six days a week, in the field by 12:30. It’s hard, but it won’t be new to you.
  5. 5 of 5. YOU’RE USED TO THE SCOREBOARD.

    In sport
    Your results are on the board, and nobody argues with the numbers.
    On this job
    Here the numbers are honest too. If they don’t move, you look at your effort first, then your direction.
