The power of focusing on one thing:
“In any complex effort, communicating a well-articulated vision for what you're trying to do is the starting point for figuring out how to do it.”
"John Madden described attending a coaching clinic where Vince Lombardi talked about the Power Sweep, and only the Power Sweep, for eight hours.
Through practice after practice, drill after drill, game after game, and season after season, the Packers honed and refined Lombardi's Power Sweep. Even though opposing teams knew the play was coming, they couldn't stop it.
Lombardi built his victories on an openly declared challenge. To beat the Packers, you must beat the Power Sweep.
Over the following seven years, the Packers won five championships, a step by-step, year-by-year progression through the ranks from worst to best to legends, all built on the foundations of one humble running play, initially described on the blackboard and then executed exquisitely on the field over and over again.
In any complex effort, communicating a well-arțiculated vision for what you're trying to do is the starting point for figuring out how to do it."
