6ers, how do you earn the right to win? I know for certain that talent alone does not guarantee success. I also know for certain that winning is largely based on one’s effort. A trained athlete who wants to increase his chance of winning will have thorough preparation and that means putting in countless hours of hard work and planning a strategy for every possibility.

This week, Tony Nash is joined by Will Huff, veteran and Director of Partnership at Soldiers to Sidelines and a Board Member at The Baltimore Station. Will is passionate about sports and believes athleticism is a valid path in the military to produce good combat leaders. Will Huff is a 1991 West Point Graduate and served in the Army from 1991 to 2015, retiring at the rank of Colonel.

You will learn about what continuous learning looks like as a leader, how to be a good teammate, a coach, and a leader, and take care of all these distinct responsibilities all the same time, to nurture a culture of a learning organization. You’ll also learn the value of mastering the basic skills until everything becomes second nature to you.

As a result, you will gain a better appreciation of why you need to earn the right to win and prepare yourself for success. You will then be more willing to accept and withstand the obstacles and roadblocks ahead knowing that the real challenge is keeping your commitment to the process itself.
