“Always Be Closing.”
The iconic line from ‘Glenngary Glen Ross’ has been used in some form on every sales team I’ve ever been a part of. The essential message of the phrase is to stay focused on the goal, always. Everything you do from start to finish has to be done with your end goal in mind. For the Villanova Wildcats, this means winning games. And closing out a win in the final 10 minutes is absolutely crucial.
Villanova fans have been critical of the team’s ability to close out a win this year. While I acknowledged that there were a few instances you could point to, I always thought this sentiment was a bit overblown.
