10 Lessons Learned—Navy Seal Training

As the start of the 2018 football has arrived, I challenge you to take the lessons learned from Navy Seal training from Admiral William H. McRaven and apply them to your life, to your officiating, and to your crews.  Here is a link to Admiral McRaven’s speech he gave at the University of Texas in 2014.

These lessons are great for anyone.  As a team of officials, they are especially beneficial.  When listening to the speech, pay close attention to Lessons 2 & 3 concerning the boats.  Remember this….”Every paddle matters and don’t measure a person by the size of their fins but by their heart!” 

Please take 20 minutes to listen and watch the commencement speech.  Also, the book “Make Your Bed” by Admiral William H. McRaven aligns with the speech.  Great book to read and refer to often.

Have a great season!
