A quote from Blackish on ABC, “It’s never gonna be easy when you’re in a league of your own.” This quote defines the presence of a leader versus a follower. Yet I do believe many who’ve chosen to follow are doing it because of a lack of confidence and or don’t want to carry the weight of so many high business expectations. How many people physically believe they’re in a league of their own? To be there. Can you stay there? What are the daily requirements? What happens if you admit to being a league of your own, does that label you conceited or confident? Cam Newton is in a league of his own. Being there means taking the verbal hits from fans and coaches. Always getting blamed for losing or making awkward passes. Pull the lens back. Millions of dollars are spent on coaches that make decisions. Not only that but Cam isn’t the only person on that playing field. Yet it’s always Cam’s fault. A league of their own. Those who are, are they teaching others how to sharpen their skills and craft? I call it the Yoda effect. Passing the experience forward. What if Yoda had said no to Luke Skywalker? The hardest part about being a league of your own isn’t recognizing it in others. It’s being loyal to the next one holding the ball.
