The Daily Coach - Tiger Woods, Bill Parcells and Respect
Tiger Woods, Bill Parcells and RespectRespecting the game or the profession of our choice allows us to surge forward with our competitive nerve.
Watching Tiger Woods come back from a devastating injury that almost cost him his lower leg to 14 months later competing in a major golf tournament this past weekend was inspiring. Woods’ willingness to battle and challenge himself can really light a fire under us all, especially considering his many lifelong achievements could’ve easily afforded him the opportunity to just be a spectator. ![]() ![]() So why did he do this? Years ago, legendary former NFL Coach Bill Parcells, was asked a similar question by his wife.
Can the Woods answer be that simple as who are we playing today? Can it always be about the competition? On a basic level, the answer yes, it is about the competitive element. But it’s also about the respect given to the game, the event, the past history of those who have walked before and hopefully those who will someday walk ahead. What Woods and Parcells have in common besides the competitive nerve and drive is a respect for the arena in which they compete. That extra ingredient makes them uncommon and inspires observers to compete at an even higher level. Respecting the game or the profession of our choice allows us to surge forward with our competitive nerve. With every painful stride Woods took along the wonderful grounds of Augusta this past weekend, his respect for the game he loves fueled his next step.
