Ham Fighter quote
This quote showed up on Baseballmusings.com a few days ago:
"...the game...is the same all over the world. There's different styles and different ways of playing it," he said. "Really, what matters is the foundational relationships that you can build with your players and putting them in the best possible position to be successful."
The quote is from Trey Hillman, the manager of Nippon Ham Fighters who was just hired to become the manager of the Kansas City Royals. The context is, obviously, baseball not orienteering. But I think the idea of putting yourself in the best possible position to be successful is something that is worth thinking about in any sport (or almost anything else, for that matter).
