Boston Celtics Head Coach Joe Mazzulla before kicking off the current NBA basketball season said he feels “zero pressure” to repeat last year’s World Championship.

Never mind that the Celtics have won a total of 18 banners in their storied history.

“We’re all going to be dead soon, and it really doesn’t matter anymore. So, there’s zero pressure.”

“”There’s nothing anyone in this circle can do to me that’s going to impact my identity and who I am as a person or a coach. We’re either going to win or we’re not, and 40 years from now, none of you are invited to my funeral and that’s it.”

It’s blunt but it’s true.

Like life all the good things we do carry over from year to year.

If there’s one thing never to forget it’s what got you to success.

Added pressure does not help.

So many life lessons in sports – feel free to share.
