Can you believe it?  The New York Giants not only beat the Bucs AND the Cowboys, but they just beat the Packers in overtime in the NFC championship… and they’re off to Arizona for the Superbowl…

If you asked anyone early on in the season if the Giants would go to the Big Show, everyone would’ve said ‘not a chance’…

Plagued with injuries, a not-so-confident QB, a sloppy secondary, and up-and-down coach, and more… they were just simply NOT in the running… But they turned things around and fought for every year to come up with a ton of big wins…

After the game, Coach Tom Coughlin said that it was their character and teamwork that pulled them together for these big victories…  The team definitely has the talent, but I saw so many of the players (especially Manning - who was supposed to be the offense’s leader) walking around with his head down.  For the first few games of the season they lost because they thought like they had already lost…

The Giants became great when they started to THINK and ACT great… then and only then did the magic start to happen on the football field…  When each teammate started to encourage and empower each other for success, they started to succeed.

We see examples like this so often in sports… and it should remind us in life and in business to always encourage and empower each other in everything we do.
