This quote came from the great one Wayne Gretsky. It makes sense. If you sit on the bench or if you don’t seize the opportunity when it presents itself you pass on taking the shot.
We have all seen it. Everyone is on the sideline rooting for the player. Collectively they yell, “Take the shot!” He then chooses to pass. The pass goes to a player that is in a worse position to shoot and the team experiences a change of possession.
In life, the statment might go something like this, “You seem like your in a better position to deal with this client, why don’t you take the lead.” Before you made that decision, did you take a second and listen to the crowd yell, “Take the shot!”
