Don’t Let The Moment Get Too Big

With the start of the college football season, I have heard the phrase “Not allowing the moment to get too big” said of quarterbacks a couple of times over the last couple of weekends. We can learn from this phrase that maintaining perspective and staying calm in a situation that might seem overwhelming or emotionally charged is an important attribute. Being a college football quarterback is a perfect example for this. A maturing quarterback and other maturing leaders learn to not let the significance or intensity of a moment escalate to the point where it causes unnecessary stress, anxiety, or impulsive reactions.
Essentially, it’s about keeping composure and not letting the moment’s importance overshadow good judgment or personal stability. The quarterback/football game example here reminds us that maintaining calmness, composure, and steady decision-making amidst high energy and intensity is the name of the game (pun intended).
