I will not comment on my job. I refuse. It may cause me to lose it. And that would be really tragic!
But this is my fav ad from the Super Bowl.

The Superbowl: The Victory of the Young Professional
Mike Tomlin: Given a chance at 34
I am not a sports buff by any stretch of the imagination. Like many, I watch the Superbowl for the commercials and the musical entertainment.
This year, I was intrigued by the coach. Of course, he is an African-American, but upon closer inspection, he was young...very young. And since I watched the game with the Dallas Young Professionals Executive Board, my mind was already wired for young achievement.
Coach Tomlin was hired at the age of 34 in 2007 and finished his 1st season with a winning 10-6 record.
Teachable moment, at the time that he became the coach of an NFL team, he had never been the coach of an NFL team. How many times are we told that we can't because we haven't before? How will we know if we never try?
The next time someone tells you (or more importantly you tell yourself) that you can't. Tell them that Coach Tomlin led his team to a Superbowl win with only two years as a Head Coach. When in key positions at Tampa Bay and Minnesota, he honed his craft, watched, learned and waited for the opportunity to realize his dreams!
Way to go Coach Tomlin! I might start watching football next year.
