Managers Often Seek to Hire Athletes. Now, They Have Even More Incentive

Like many CEOs, I love sports. As a young adult, I played basketball, baseball, and soccer as a kid, overachieved in golf and tennis (for my talent level, anyway), and became a fervent skydiver in college. Now, I am passionate about skiing and scuba diving. Competing in sports taught me to stretch past my mental and physical comfort zones, work in teams, and learn from failure. Talk about transferable skills.
