The team filed into the locker room at halftime. Everyone was discouraged, upset because we were losing by thirty points.
These were all very good suggestions, but that is all they were. We sat around for the remainder of halftime analyzing what we needed to do to come back and win the game. Everyone had their opinion, and everyone let everyone else know their opinion.
We ran back onto the field as a team. We were willing to sacrifice ourselves of one goal: the win. We felt like a well-oiled machine that was going to take the ball and drive it down the field and score. Everyone knew exactly what needed to be done.

Our self-analysis at halftime was very accurate and our machine looked very nice from the outside, but there was one problem; there was neither power nor gears to get the machine running. The second half was very ugly. Our well-oiled machine was sent to the trash compactor and crushed into tiny pieces.

Even if we spent hours and hours determining what we needed to do, it would be pointless if we didn’t actually do something about it. Anyone can talk about what needs to be done, but the person who is successful actually does something to make his or her words come true.
