Why you need to maintain a large vision to avoid missing opportunities
You’d think the Eagles would learn the first time this happened, but it happened more than once.
Eliminating one threat created new threats.
Instead, it would be more beneficial to train team members to become sufficient at defending Kelcie 1 on 1 – despite his routes being unpredictably beastly.
Learning this would eliminate gaps for other KCC players to score while still keeping Kelcie at bay.
Easier said than done, but everything is possible with the proper training and level of athleticism.
People use the same tactic in life
Like the Eagles, we, too, often keep tunnel vision.
We focus on one threat, which creates the opportunity for new threats to arise. Or we focus our efforts on things or people that make sense on paper but miss the big picture entirely.
Because the Eagles were so dead set on Kelcie, KCC scored.
Maintain A Large Vision
In an old NFL football video game I played, quarterbacks had a narrow to wide range of vision.
Guys like Peyton Manning and Brett Farve had extensive vision ranges.
Rookies had smaller ranges.
The higher the skill level of the quarterback or the more experience they have, the larger their vision.
The best quarterbacks can see most of the field.
We witness this in quarterbacks who can see their teammates near the in-zone and make game-winning passes across a lengthy field.
Don’t Focus On Your Radar
Kevin Trudeau mentioned a powerful concept…we often miss the best opportunities in life because we are focused on our radar.
But the truth is, frequently, what we’re after is off our radar.
This guy was obsessed with a girl who had everything he wanted – except the girl wasn’t that into him.
Lo and behold, the woman of his dreams was not too far off if he could take his eyes off this woman for one damn second.
When you have tunnel vision, you miss legendary opportunities.
Some of the Eagles’ game decisions contributed to losing the Superbowl.
One of them was focusing on incorrect targets or not on every potential target.
Based on stats, this was a win that could have gone either way, but it should have gone the Eagle’s way. This was their game and their time.
But, they have another shot at getting it right as they will continue for years to come.
It’s not over for them, but for this year, the KCC take the win with an injured quarterback, an even more devastating blow for the Eagles.
Congrats to KCC, but also congrats to the Eagles because there is an inevitable win up their sleeve if they make a few tweaks.
