It Takes Resilience to Achieve Your Goals
Anyone heard of Mike Zimmer? I must confess that until the past few months, I hadn't. Mr Zimmer is the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL. The article below (click on the link) chronicles his path to his head coach position in one of the most difficult working environments in the country. An NFL coach can be here today and gone tomorrow, such are the vagaries of being a sports coach. But those that know Mike Zimmer, and the writer has collected their thoughts, highlights the excellent qualities that are paying him dividends.
After you have read the article, leave some thoughts below. Are you resilient? Do you have what it takes to endure long so that you can achieve your goals? Share your thoughts with us all.

Resilience and perseverance are both skill sets certainly required for our internet marketing business.

Hello Duncan, I think it is a little more than resilience. From what I read he did his homework, put in the time and believes in himself. He has a vision of what he wants and where he wants to be. I think we in this community who are not chasing the money have the resilience to go the distance. You have to have that attribute if you are going to make it,because there will be highs and lows, especially in the beginning.
Harvey, you just nailed the key reason I referred everyone to this article. We can persevere but not enhance our skills. Combining continued education, spending time and believing in our abilities are key components to us staying the distance here at WA.
I'm glad to see this resiliency Duncan and yes it is important in all parts of life. Not just sports
I do not know much about football. In Italy, soccer plays the greatest part in our hearts.
But I read the article with interest, and I appreciated this sentence: "You got to have a plan and have true beliefs in who you are and what you are -- and be that. You don't have to be somebody that you're not."
Thanks for sharing! Ciao.
I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan, so I heard of Mike Zimmer. He's a very good defensive coach. As a Ravens fan, I heard of Mike Zimmer because he used to coach the Cincinnati Bangles' defense. He's doing pretty well with the Minnesota Vikings.
Absolutely. Speaking of the Ravens, I loved the movie, The Blind Side about Michael Oher. Of course he is with the Panthers now but it taught me a lot about the NFL.
