Coach pours some sugar

Hall of Fame football coach Joe Gibbs, in Sarasota recently to plug his book, “Game Plan for Life,” says adversity, in life and business, can really be a secret weapon for success.

“I stared out 0-5,” Gibbs says of his first season with the Washington Redskins, in 1981. “I lost the first five games I coached. And 0-5 is a big deal in Washington, D.C.”

But Gibbs, in an interview with the Business Observer, says the ability to stick to a plan only becomes more vital when things aren't going well. For Gibbs, a devout Christian, that plan was to have faith — and pick the right team.
