Next Play! I hear it all the time when I officiate college basketball. Coaches yell this to their players when they miss a shot, make a turn over , or have a bad play. Some players put their head down, don't run back, become unfocused after a negative incident. Some coaches yank that player out of the game, but a lot of times I hear "next play" and the player will snap up and snap out of it and move on. A quick redirect can go along way to helping someone out who just has a failure, mistake, or error.
Why don't we use this in life more? Why sometimes do we let ourselves get down and feel sorry? Who is the person in your life that is yelling next play to you? We are going to have set backs, failures, and falls. I just read in the NY Times about Olympic Champion skater Scott Hamilton. He was recently demoted from the main skating broadcast team on NBC. He said "I felt bad for about ten minutes." He calculated that he fell during his skating career 41,600 times. He also battled cancer! This was just another fall, he picked himself up, and moved on. Next play!
Dr. Gilbert always says: "It is not the amount of times you fail, it is the amount of times you succeed that counts. The amount of times you succeed is directly related to the amount of times that you fail and keep trying."
This episode, we meet David Maffei, the Assistant Principal at Roy C. Ketchum HS in Wappingers Falls, NY. David interviewed with me years ago in Port Jervis and did NOT get the job. He kept a positive attitude, we remained in touch, and he went on to get a job quickly after our interview. David is a great example of the "Next Play" concept. He also is a wealth of energy, positive enthusiasm, and strong leadership. @MrMaffeiRCK
