Preparation is easy to talk about. Pressure shows whether it was real. This episode begins with the Parable of the Ten Virgins and a simple coaching question: when the moment arrives, are you…
There are moments when you realize very quickly whether you were truly prepared, right? It might be an important conversation, an opportunity you didn't expect, or a situation where you suddenly you have to make a decision and there is no more time to get ready.
You can prepare all week, talk about what might happen and work through different situations, but eventually the moment arrives and you have to respond with what you already have.
And that made me think about the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew chapter 25.
Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
The foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.
But the wise answered, saying, What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell and buy for yourselves.
While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went in with him.
When the game gets tight, you can't suddenly create communication, role clarity, or late-game execution.
