We’ve had time to regroup and get organized for another season – another chance for a championship. It’s one of the more exciting times, because you’ve put pieces in place for another great year – like a piece of music that’s never finished. It’s also a sad time because it means saying goodbye to guys you have known and loved. A career in professional sports is a great lesson on impermanence because it’s short lived even for the guys that get to stay around long enough to become legendary.
The offseason is also a time for reflection, for learning from your mistakes and making yourself better because of them.
