One of the greatest lessons I ever learned had nothing to do with running the football. One day in practice, a coach looked at me standing on the other side of the field and asked, "What are you doing over there?" My answer? "Nothing." He looked at me and said, "Then go help your teammate." He challenged me to become uncommon. He reminded me that you never know what's going to happen on the field. A teammate may go down. Someone may need help. If you only know one job, you're limiting your value. From that day on, I expanded my role. I attacked my weaknesses, learned every position I could, and became the player the team could count on in any situation. That's what made me a starter. I've carried that lesson with me ever since. Don't just do what's required. Look for ways to add value. Learn a new skill. Help someone else. Prepare for opportunities before they arrive. The people who become uncommon aren't waiting to be needed—they're already getting ready. Find A Way.
