Journalist Anna James here joining in the #CPHC :) sandyhubbard If you can't attend #CPHC or can't stay for hour, you can catch up via articles, radio & "in-line" transcripts at http://t.co/zerZOaidtC T1- What life lessons have you gotten from sports? JessicaFastball T1 Sports taught me that you have teammates who are there for you in a crisis situation. #CPHC @GailZahtz GailZahtz First tell us a bit about yourself @JessicaFastball and then- more on the idea of teammates and crisis- would love to hear more!! #CPHC JessicaFastball T1 When we thought my dad was missing, the @Mariners sent me a glad he's okay tweet after we discovered his whereabouts. @GailZahtz #CPHC JessicaFastball When my oldest daughter had osteomyletitis, the Twitter baseball community was incredibly supportive. @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz Back on something you said earlier @JessicaFastball you talked about people being there no matter what- could you explain more? #CPHC MarkPitzele T1 Publishing, passion for people and all things Wisconsin Badgers.......Sports for Better Living? Awesome. #CPHC GailZahtz Just getting better and better right @MarkPitzele And we must must meet soon- how many great should be authors we have here today #CPHC MarkPitzele @GailZahtz We definitely should. #CPHC toughLoveforx @tjpruneda I've always thought most important lesson for k-12 education is learning to be a good loser. thgts? #CPHC @GailZahtz AnneCCPA @GailZahtz T1 Sports have taught me that mental focus, persistance and attitude matter just as much (if not more) as physical finesse #CPHC AnneCCPA @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @GailZahtz You "win" even if you "lose" as long as you learn from your mistakes, and aim to improve #CPHC Tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @GailZahtz totally agree! You can't be a sore loser and be the best person in life! Once you learn to lose you will win #CPHC toughLoveforx @AnneCCPA Yes. Plus teaches how to handle failure. Critically important for K12 education. #CPHC @tjpruneda @GailZahtz NatriceR @AnneCCPA @GailZahtz @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda winners/losers have connections - always learn to do either gracefully! #cphc

toughLoveforx @AnneCCPA The best way to learn is to fail. Works for Silicon Valley works for HS kids. #CPHC @tjpruneda @GailZahtz tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @AnneCCPA @GailZahtz couldn't agree more! Failure is the best way to learn in both sports and life #CPHC AnneCCPA @toughLoveforx Agreed! Sports are not "all or nothing"; its about moving forward; changing, transforming your mind and your body #CPHC toughLoveforx @AnneCCPA So very different from high stakes tests or SATs. all or nothing. yeech! #CPHC AnneCCPA @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @GailZahtz Learning failure in a supportive enviro prepares for the tough-love approach in the real world #CPHC Tjpruneda @AnneCCPA @toughLoveforx @GailZahtz so true! So many people are fed with golden spoon to often in this day and age #CPHC JessicaFastball Difference is how you perceive it. #KeepOnDancing @GailZahtz @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda #CPHC GailZahtz Okay- more on T1 - everyone jump in- what lessons has sports taught your for life- whether a player, coach or fan? #CPHC JessicaFastball Teams ride highs and lows together. Leaders who can change tide of emotion so important. @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @GailZahtz #CPHC abrewi3010 T1 sports taught me patience and the value of hard work. Being injured taught me to value success more #CPHC sandyhubbard @abrewi3010 I agree - learning what you can do physically and mentally and then pushing a bit more each time is so satisfying. #cphc abrewi3010 @sandyhubbard yes it is! Especially true as a chronic pain athlete now. #CPHC AutoimmuneGal @abrewi3010 haven't quite been able to be an athlete w/ #autoimmune disease. Started w/ PT to get my body back in some order. #cphc abrewi3010 @AutoimmuneGal I use athlete as a general term. As long as your active & pushing ur limits a little ur an athlete in my eyes. #CPHC abrewi3010 @AutoimmuneGal I'm seronegative RA myself so I understand the burden the disease puts on us. #CPHC AutoimmuneGal @sandyhubbard @abrewi3010 challenging oneself is so satisfying & the feeling of accomplishment extends to other areas of life. #CPHC sandyhubbard I loved team sports, going for best, aiming high as a group, having mental and physical toughness, and supporting each other. #CPHC AnneCCPA @sandyhubbard Learning to communicate and bond together is important; for mental health reasons too. Its a great support network! #CPHC sandyhubbard I followed team and individual sports as a kid and adult. I love watching the Olympics and hearing about athletes and how they train. #CPHC KKDUB T1 Always hated sports until I figured out that you had to "have game" -- no matter what. #cphc abrewi3010 T1 sports helped me develop curiousity too. Can I climb that rock, ski that run, lift that at the gym? #CPHC AutoimmuneGal Sports have always helped me to focus & taught me coordination & how to take breaks from the grind of work. #CPHC AnneCCPA @GailZahtz "Parents sideline range hurts youth sports" http://t.co/6vHA4z7MoZ : Some parents should take heed of T1 answers! #CPHC Sandyhubbard I would love to see the return of sandlot ball without parents lingering on sidelines. Good life lessons there, too. #CPHC @toughLoveforx

toughLoveforx @sandyhubbard Good point! I bet adults are afraid of the kid failing as it affects their own status as parents. So destructive. #CPHC AnneCCPA @toughLoveforx @sandyhubbard Perhaps they're afraid its a reflection of the parents failing the child. Parents - set your egos aside! #CPHC toughLoveforx @AnneCCPA "arents - set your egos aside! #CPHC Same thing with College admissions. So much stress for nothing. @sandyhubbard

Shoes: JessicaFastball I'm a shoe girl who has always loved baseball. My dad taught me how to play, and I want to make it a safer sport for all. @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz You got into designing and/or supporting #design of footwear for sports & health- can you tell us about that too? @JessicaFastball #CPHC JessicaFastball Design is for gals like you. I teach others to shop for footwear based on what makes them an individual. @GailZahtz #CPHC JessicaFastball Footwear is a critical component of confidence, performance, and safety, but few are measuring shoe size. @GailZahtz #CPHC #2Minutes2Measure GailZahtz We'll get you designing soon enough @JessicaFastball but in the meantime- you've called better plays by footwear and more- share? #CPHC JessicaFastball Baseball compiles stats, but doesn't measure feet for proper cleat fitting. I want to change this. @GailZahtz #CPHC #2Minutes2Measure JessicaFastball Suppose you have a player with a foot like mine, you can design a pitching strategy around what will be hard to hit. @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz So if you can #design a #pitching strategy based on the design of the shoes what else can be done? #CPHC @JessicaFastball #sportsfans JessicaFastball I believe that you can prevent some percentage of injuries and increase overall foot health. @GailZahtz #CPHC #2Minutes2Measure Sandyhubbard Right now we're hearing @GailZahtz and @jessicafastball discuss the challenges of properly fitting sports footwear. #CPHC GailZahtz Have there been studies on preventing injuries and increasing health through footwear? @JessicaFastball if @houstonfoot is around too #CPHC JessicaFastball @GailZahtz @houstonfoot There have been for basketball. May be for baseball too, haven't seen many though, and still no change. #CPHC JessicaFastball Fabulous. So glad to hear this is being addressed. Any thoughts on how to get players measured? @houstonfoot @GailZahtz #CPHC missannajames @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz What's the foot preoccupation? I'm confused! Do tell more #CPHC JessicaFastball Feet are not being measured before cleats are ordered and handed out. I believe that's injuring players. @missannajames @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz The foot pre-occupation is great for sports and health -how #design of shoes affects us @JessicaFastball @missannajames @houstonfoot #CPHC Missannajames @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz That's solid. As you know, I'm obsessed with stances so I get you! Would love more info! #CPHC JessicaFastball @missannajames @GailZahtz We can continue chat later. Would love to hear more on stances. That part I'm not so good at. #CPHC

GailZahtz Welcome @theleewmowen Please tell us about your broadcasts more! Where? When? What interests you? Why? LOL MORE #CPHC theleewmowen @GailZahtz I broadcast around Dayton, Ohio, multiple times a week, all sports interest me, and I've always wanted to be a broadcaster! #CPHC tjpruneda @theleewmowen @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz I've always wanted to be a broadcaster as well! #CPHC theleewmowen @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz Broadcasting is a fantastic career. Having a tough time finding paying work, but still working! #CPHC tjpruneda @theleewmowen @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz I love sports and all it brings on and off the field! Broadcasting is the perfect bridge! #CPHC GailZahtz I saw at broadcast event this year they had a whole day just for sports-why? #CPHC @tjpruneda @theleewmowen @JessicaFastball @missannajames GailZahtz So is it because sports' broadcast is innately different or leading radio? #CPHC @missannajames @tjpruneda @theleewmowen @JessicaFastball missannajames @GailZahtz @tjpruneda @theleewmowen @JessicaFastball For the sheer pace it is for sure #CPHC sandyhubbard Welcome to all our new attendees today. If you're just joining in, we're talking about lessons learned from sports. #CPHC

GailZahtz So glad you've joined us @tjpruneda can u share for those who don't know about the college league & what it means for sports & life? #CPHC Tjpruneda @GailZahtz I am a pitcher at a NAIA school which is smaller than the NCAA but just as competitive! #CPHC Tjpruneda @GailZahtz if you treat your job like a sort you keep yourself dependable and earn the trust if those around you when you need it most #CPHC GailZahtz As you see, as we do more of these multi-guest chats, lots of conversations- so jump in whatever interests you! #CPHC @NatriceR @KKDUB Statistics in sports to teach math skills: toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball Baseball stats are another powerful way to teach statistics in K-12. #CPHC @GailZahtz GailZahtz Ha! I just watched all 6 seasons of #numbers so I am all into stats now! @toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball #CPHC toughLoveforx @GailZahtz It's been said and I agree, that learning stats is the most math for 21st c education. #CPHC @JessicaFastball tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz only reason why I took stats but unfortunately it didn't relate! I wish it did #CPHC toughLoveforx @tjpruneda I've seen 10 year old "bad, stupid kids" ( oy) who cud flawlessly knew the Stats. #CPHC @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz toughLoveforx @tjpruneda Now we have MoneyBall. Advanced stats for HS Jrs and Seniors . #CPHC @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz

AutoimmuneGal @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz love the idea teaching stats/math thru sports-otherwise, topics can be abstract. #cphc Tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz IMO you will use stats for stats instead of finding standard deviations! #CPHC Tjpruneda @AutoimmuneGal @toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz and very uninteresting without sports info #CPHC toughLoveforx @tjpruneda I was trained in sociology.Standard Deviations obfuscate, more than they clarify. #CPHC @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz JessicaFastball Math also fairly useless unless you can translate it into action. #InjuryPrevention @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @GailZahtz #CPHC AutoimmuneGal @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz yes, stats not as black & white as people believe when u really study them #cphc JessicaFastball Stats not nearly as important as the people generating or anaylzing them. @tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @AutoimmuneGal @GailZahtz #CPHC toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball single most important insight about Stats. Sports stats have no axe to grind. #CPHC @tjpruneda @AutoimmuneGal @GailZahtz

JessicaFastball The more ways you have to reach kids, the better. Learning can be so much fun. @AutoimmuneGal @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @GailZahtz #CPHC toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball Biggest problem in learning is the fear of failure. Why sports are so helpful. #CPHC @AutoimmuneGal @tjpruneda @GailZahtz tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball @AutoimmuneGal @GailZahtz couldn't agree more with you Michael! #CPHC Inspirational Sports Quotes: toughLoveforx @tjpruneda I always loved the line from Bull Durham. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains" @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz Ha- but what's the difference between losing and rain? #CPHC @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda toughLoveforx @GailZahtz Sometimes it rains, teaches humility and acceptance.. knowing you will play another day... #CPHC @tjpruneda Tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @GailZahtz classic line and movie! Should be showed in school! #CPHC toughLoveforx @tjpruneda Agreed. Bull Durham + the Wire is prety much all you need to know... imo. #CPHC @GailZahtz tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @GailZahtz Bull Durham should be watched across the nation in school because of the deeper meaning than just baseball! #CPHC missannajames @GailZahtz a #baseball player once told me to "never let anyone tell you you're not good enough". That stuck! #CPHC GailZahtz Great quote! RT @missannajames: a #baseball player once told me to "never let anyone tell you you're not good enough". That stuck! #CPHC jeffhaywoodCPA @toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball Phil Jackson told a player to miss > 3 shots a game. Sports lesson: U don't have 2 succeed every time. #CPHC JessicaFastball Great reminder. Really profound way to think about life in general. @jeffhaywoodCPA @toughLoveforx #CPHC

jeffhaywoodCPA @JessicaFastball succeed 3 out 10 & play in the majors...baseball. Just a little more success & your a SUPERSTAR #cphc GailZahtz More please! ;-) mT @jeffhaywoodCPA: @JessicaFastball succeed 3 out 10 & play in the majors.. Just a little more & your a SUPERSTAR #cphc toughLoveforx @jeffhaywoodCPA Also teaches kids persistence w/o getting all stressed. Phil Jackson was brilliant! #CPHC @JessicaFastball tjpruneda "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game" quote as stuck with me my while life! @JessicaFastball #CPHC @GailZahtz AnneCCPA @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz Speaking of which, quotes about sports and from athletes are GREAT motivational devices #CPHC GailZahtz I can set up for everyone to share their favorite sports quotes on a list- interested? #CPHC @AnneCCPA @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball AnneCCPA @GailZahtz @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball "I can set up for everyone to share their fav sports quotes on a list- interested?" - Yes! #CPHC GailZahtz Ok, I will create list for all to contribute favorite sports quotes #CPHC on http://t.co/N52YkLvH1W @AnneCCPA @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball Tjpruneda @AnneCCPA @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz another one I go by "am I 1%better today than I was yesterday" teaches me to always work hard #CPHC GailZahtz I heard a speech that I share that no matter how bad things feel, if you get up 51% that's success #CPHC @missannajames @JessicaFastball missannajames @GailZahtz @AnneCCPA @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball "Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too." #CPHC Dembkclub @missannajames as one from UK - better big up football i.e soccer especially in the year of the World Cup. Better find a quote! #CPHC Tjpruneda @Dembkclub @GailZahtz of course! #CPHc toughLoveforx @Dembkclub Soccer ( football) is getting bigger and bigger in the States. Plus global respect. #CPHC @missannajames Dembkclub @toughLoveforx @missannajames: watching growth with interest. #CPHC Dembkclub Focus on tennis too with Australian Open underway. Tennis is a game one can play for a long time #age #exercise #wellbeing #CPHC Dembkclub Now thinking Winter Olympics - good watching 'sport' as well - motivational aspects for some so they say but also memory values #CPHC Dembkclub "Aim for the sky and youll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and youll stay on the floor". Bill Shankly Liverpool FC legend #CPHC missannajames @toughLoveforx @Dembkclub Ha! I love football. "Without football, my life is worth nothing" - @Cristiano #Passion #CPHC missannajames @GailZahtz @JessicaFastball You never know your true potential until you hit a ditch. #CinderellaStory #CPHC GailZahtz Like! RT @missannajames: @GailZahtz @JessicaFastball You never know your true potential until you hit a ditch. #CinderellaStory #CPHC JessicaFastball Life is short. Swing for the fences, but have fun striking out because you're still playing. @GailZahtz @taxesforxpats @missannajames #CPHC GailZahtz Having fun and learning- the utter essence of living fully! #CPHC @JessicaFastball @taxesforxpats @missannajames

Crowdsourcing:

JessicaFastball Well, take you and what you're going through right now. Your friends care, and we're worried about you! What can we do? @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz Oh, I almost missed that question- there must be a sports term for sneaking that in! @JessicaFastball OK- you're guest, so I'm game #CPHC GailZahtz To answer our amazing guest @JessicaFastball who has taught me so much and supported me and #CPHC for so long- we're at a fascinating spot. GailZahtz Okay @JessicaFastball here I'll go- and yes #KeepOnDancing We've been ridiculously successful with #CPHC and our full media in 1 yr w/no $ GailZahtz As people talk stats- we've reached 150million, had over 100 fabulous interviews with sameday results, and built incredible community #CPHC Sandyhubbard Good point @GailZahtz about AMAZING stats we're had from our individual and cumulative #CPHC chats. So impressive to see our annual figures! GailZahtz This is hard @JessicaFastball I'm doing this for you- is this how sports work? #CPHC JessicaFastball This is it beautiful. You have to put everything on the line knowing that your team is there for you. @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz Everyone- please continue amazing convos that I see on so many topics around lessons from sports while I answer @JessicaFastball #CPHC Walkersvillemom Yes @GailZahtz your team is here MT @JessicaFastball: You have to put everything on the line knowing that your team is there for you. #CPHC GailZahtz Crying already RT @JessicaFastball: This is it beautiful. You have to put everything on line knowing that your team is there for you #CPHC JessicaFastball It's okay to cry. You deserve that kind of emotional release. No shame in having feelings. You're safe here. @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz Anyway, it's been labor of love- and I gave up my clients to support the communities as we grew so fast and invested all my own money #CPHC GailZahtz Upshot is- we have huge opportunity to move into full TV and radio broadcast network- but it's down to this week, and I'm out of cash #CPHC GailZahtz Please keep talking sports, I'm answering @JessicaFastball out of respect- but don't want to take over this amazing conversation! #CPHC GailZahtz So to make long story short, either we raise money this week & go into full production, or can't keep up & I lose my house next month #CPHC JessicaFastball Gail, we are still waiting for ways we can support you! @abrewi3010 @GailZahtz @AutoimmuneGal @jeffhaywoodCPA #CPHC GailZahtz Oh @JessicaFastball sorry. We need: crowd-funding fast, sponsors,network support, investors, skills & reaching out for $$ this week #CPHC GailZahtz So I will set up for crowd-funding and open transparency to our rates, projects- everything most keep private for true transparency #CPHC

T2 is about how you teach the lessons you've learned JessicaFastball And how do you move these lessons into the classroom without alienating athletes? @toughLoveforx @tjpruneda @AutoimmuneGal @GailZahtz #CPHC GailZahtz Oh- T2 is about how you teach the lessons you've learned- so everyone in the midst of me answering- go jump to that #CPHC @JessicaFastball toughLoveforx "You're safe here" said @JessicaFastball Another must have for K-12 education. #CPHC Probably also in a health clinic. #CPHC

AnneCCPA @JessicaFastball T1 Lessons from sports to the classroom - group work? team building exercises? #CPHC AnneCCPA @GailZahtz T2: As adults we may find ourselves in mentoring positions: we can foster that culture/attitude towards teamwork & failure #CPHC toughLoveforx @AnneCCPA Also Teacher as Coach. Same as mentor/guru but words kids can understand. #CPHC @JessicaFastball abrewi3010 #CPHC I teach/show my athletic work ethic in my #ePatient advocacy work. Always strive to learn more, listen to coaches, push my limits. AutoimmuneGal @abrewi3010 love that philosophy. as long as we get our bodies moving, it is accomplishment. #CPHC GailZahtz Can you tell us more about the link between the athletic and being an #epatient @abrewi3010 #CPHC abrewi3010 #CPHC being an #epatient means always striving for a better tomorrow, same as sport I think. #CPHC AnneCCPA @toughLoveforx Students often taught that grads ("academic stats") are everything. Building experience + learning skills important too #CPHC Sandyhubbard We've heard lots of inspiring stories and perspectives. How do we teach or pass along these lessons learned from sports? #CPHC RT @GailZahtz toughLoveforx @sandyhubbard In education, the folks that have be taught are teachers/policy makers tend to look down on value of Sports.@GailZahtz #CPHC JessicaFastball My friend @PitchMechanics is teaching others because he was given information that hurt his career. @GailZahtz @jeffhaywoodCPA #CPHC

Sports in schools: Sandyhubbard So many youth sports are relentlessly cultivating stars and quickly weeding out average kids at very young age. Makes me sad. #CPHC Sandyhubbard I'd like to see more youth teams with access for all, a good time, sportsmanship, while still teaching key skills to move forward. #CPHC Sandyhubbard The days of being a walk-on player in high school are pretty much over. You had to have been playing league sports from young age. #CPHC AnneCCPA @sandyhubbard Similar when you are trying to master any area- medicine, leadership, skills; build a solid foundation + work from there #CPHC AutoimmuneGal @sandyhubbard yes, it seems that way. personal coaches at young ages seem to be more common. #CPHC Sandyhubbard I wish kids had more options to just play and learn sports skills outside the spotlight of "real" games and parental scrutiny. #CPHC GailZahtz I agree about the fact that there should be more opportunities for kids with non pressure sports @sandyhubbard #CPHC JessicaFastball How can we make these opportunities available? @sandyhubbard @tjpruneda #CPHC Tjpruneda @JessicaFastball @sandyhubbard promoting different clubs and sports for everyone to at least know about! #CPHC Sandyhubbard Frustrating to see recess P.E. and after-school sports shoved aside in schools because of budget or the need to make test scores. #CPHC toughLoveforx @sandyhubbard The single worst thing they can do is cut down PE and team sports instead of leveraging for academic skills. #CPHC

missannajames @GailZahtz @sandyhubbard Agreed! Not every kid will be comfortable with a bat in their hand, but they should at least have a go! #CPHC toughLoveforx @sandyhubbard How cool would it be for one of the gezillion dollar super bowl ads to be about using lessons of sport in academics. #CPHC Dembkclub @toughLoveforx @sandyhubbard reports show that P.E can help with learning #CPHC toughLoveforx @Dembkclub If you google "how do sports help academics" many many links. #CPHC @sandyhubbard AnneCCPA @tjpruneda @JessicaFastball @sandyhubbard Extracurricular activities at school and community help broaden experiences for youth! #CPHC Tjpruneda @AnneCCPA @JessicaFastball @sandyhubbard but those are often secluded to the same sports! We need to find a way to broaden the choice! #CPHC Tjpruneda @AnneCCPA @JessicaFastball @sandyhubbard but it is a great point! #CPHC Dembkclub @toughLoveforx @missannajames @Cristiano sport and education programs for young ppl. Some football clubs do this in UK. #academics #CPHC

Missannajames @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz Sport has always been apart of my life even though I've never been the best at it, that's the beauty of it #CPHC missannajames @GailZahtz I'm an Australian baseball tragic which has given me the opp to help raise the profile of the sport here #CPHC missannajames @GailZahtz @tjpruneda @theleewmowen @JessicaFastball Sport is so translatable, entertaining and breaks down barriers - more please! #CPHC tjpruneda @missannajames @GailZahtz @theleewmowen @JessicaFastball All sports break walls and more kids need to know the lessons! #CPHC toughLoveforx @tjpruneda The other thing about sports. Clear explicit goals. Play hard. Stay in the Rules. #CPHC @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz tjpruneda @toughLoveforx @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz same goals into life! Work hard and within the rules and you will get where you want to go #CPHC toughLoveforx @tjpruneda Yes. "Work hard and within the rules" and don't get stressed by losing. All one needs. #CPHC @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz missannajames @JessicaFastball @GailZahtz Best thing about #baseball, and sport in general is you can pick your favourite part to analyse! #CPHC Dembkclub Hello everyone.

Fear of failure: jeffhaywoodCPA @GailZahtz @JessicaFastball The best R willing to risk failing more than the others but they also then succeed more often. #cphc GailZahtz People don't realize that failing is learning well, just the hard way- but essential Thoughts? @jeffhaywoodCPA @JessicaFastball #CPHC jeffhaywoodCPA @GailZahtz @JessicaFastball Fear of failure when overcome can lead to success in life. #cphc Michael Jordan failed more than anyone else... JessicaFastball What did I learn from bad decision? Mistakes sometimes propel you into success because you know how to fail. GailZahtz @jeffhaywoodCPA #CPHC GailZahtz Is this true? How did Michael Jordan fail? I think of Babe Ruth and there were #s there too yes? #CPHC @jeffhaywoodCPA @JessicaFastball GailZahtz You know, with #CPHC and our full communities, I've done 4 betas that didn't go outlearned so much! @JessicaFastball @jeffhaywoodCPA GailZahtz This would be very powerful post, slideshare and/or list- about those who lost more but were winners @jeffhaywoodCPA @JessicaFastball #CPHC AutoimmuneGal @JessicaFastball @jeffhaywoodCPA Fear of failure can also prevent one from taking risks needed to succeed. #CPHC Missannajames @GailZahtz @JessicaFastball All athletes fail more than they succeed. If you get a hit three times in ten at bats you're doing well! #CPHC GailZahtz What about fear of success? #CPHC @AutoimmuneGal @JessicaFastball @jeffhaywoodCPA JessicaFastball I struggle with this.

AutoimmuneGal @GailZahtz @JessicaFastball @jeffhaywoodCPA once had "success" in endeavor can lead to pressure & fear of how to remain so #CPHC AutoimmuneGal @GailZahtz @JessicaFastball @jeffhaywoodCPA also teaches us can't be perfect all the time. success does not have to be a constant. #CPHC
