I love to see when Greatness recognizes Greatness... as it should be. For South Carolina Head Coach Dawn Staley to call out Caitlin Clark, and thank her for elevating the game and carrying the sport to new levels shows the ultimate gesture in good sportsmanship.
She recognized the best while being the best! Let this be a lesson we learn in business. We can celebrate other companies and competitors while also celebrating our own wins. It creates a healthy environment for competition while showing the world what true class is. In business, you may not always win every contract, so keep striving for the next one so you can fight another day.
South Carolina went 38-0, a feat only 10 other teams have done in history, but in business, you WILL suffer many defeats and experience highs and lows. It's what builds true character. How you respond to defeat is where true growth lives.
A true shining moment in women's basketball, and may we all recognize and acknowledge greatness when it comes around, and may we all learn from this moment in time.
