I ran across this in an old file today and wanted to pass it along.  This is a great read by Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, Liar's Poker, Coach and other good books.  Here is the link to the story, Coach Fitz's Management Theory, which was originally published in the New York Times on March 28, 2004.  http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/28/magazine/coach-fitz-s-management-theory.html

As a parent of high school athletes, I have seen what Lewis describes first hand.  This also relates to the sales profession in that discipline, hard work, sacrifice, teamwork and good common sense must be practiced every day.
