I love #Sports. Watching. Playing. Coaching. Probably a little too much, honestly.

I grew up in rec-leagues on teams that never lost (credit to my #Dad, always the best coach in the league) and on teams that barely scored. 

Both experiences mattered. Both shaped me positively.

Now, as a #Coach I get a front-row seat to the #growth and #confidence that young athletes build every year. It's energizing.
 
That's one of the many reasons I'm proud of the work that Buffalo Wild Wings does with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to keep youth sports accessible - in every community, for every family, for every kid.

As youth sports become more #expensive, more #stressful and more #OutofReach for too many families, this work becomes increasingly important, as evidenced by the below article in The Washington Post.

If you had the same experiences growing up, join us in this important work. https://lnkd.in/eDwjhBcF

🏀 Dylan Cardwell is having a #moment. 

If you’re wondering who Dylan Cardwell is, keep reading. If you are an Auburn University alum, you already know DC and love him. If you don't know him yet, you should. You will find him impossible not to root for.

I've had the privilege of working for some incredible organizations: Accenture, Target, North Point Ministries, Inc. and now Inspire. I can honestly say that I wish I could go back and do the first 90 days over at each stop along the way - and do it the way that Dylan has done it for the Sacramento Kings. 

First, let’s get the obvious out of the way: None of us are 6’10” with elite athleticism. That's not the transferable part of this story. This is:

 • Like DC, most (all) of us went undrafted.
 • Like DC, many of us have started over in a new role or industry.
 • Like DC, some of us began at the bottom - entry level, contract work, nothing guaranteed.
 • Like DC, many of us didn’t arrive with a résumé that screamed star.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.

What I love about Dylan, is that he’s doing the things #ALL of us can do - especially when we’re new, unproven, or trying to stick.

𝐇𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲.
Coaches love him. Teammates love him. Fans love him. He makes the environment better - more positive, more engaged, more alive. That stuff matters more than we pretend it does.

𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.
Nothing is assumed. He keeps improving. He keeps sharpening his game. He fills gaps instead of demanding spotlight.

𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
He’s not just happy to be here. He wants to be in the league for a long time. And, he’s clear-eyed about what that requires. No noise. No entitlement. All focus.

If you’re looking for someone to cheer for, you could do a whole lot worse than Dylan Cardwell. And, if you are looking for some ways to start building momentum in your current (or new) role, being humble enough to learn from this 24-year-old will assuredly help you go further faster on your career journey. #WarEagle
