When I was 11 years old, my Dad was transferred from Miami to Kansas City. The biggest thing I was worried about was if they would have Match Box or Hot Wheel cars in Kansas. They did.

A bit of a culture shock, though a really good one.

One of the many really cool things that happened while living in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City, was we were there when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. I've still got the poster, sweat shirt and the autograph of Otis Taylor, the Chiefs great receiver.

So any time the Chiefs play, I'm on their side.

Lack of follow through leads to defeat

I tell just about everyone with whom I work, whether counseling/coaching client, article writing student or mentee, whoever, that the fortune is in the follow through.

One of the places that football mirrors real life is in tackling. To make a successful tackle, you have to follow through. To be successful at anything in life, you have to follow through.

I lost track of how many tackles were missed by the Chiefs on Saturday. I saw many half tackles and arm tackles, and very few complete tackles.

When you don't follow through on the football playing field, you lose. When you don't follow through on the life playing field, you lose.
