Coach Gary Gaines stood before his Odessa Permian team and gave them this challenge: “We’ve talked a lot about being perfect. To me, being perfect is about you and your relationship to yourself, to your family and your friends. Being perfect is being able to look at your friends and know that you didn’t let them down…that you told them the truth when you said that you did everything you could…that there was nothing else you could’ve done. Can you live in that moment? With clear eyes and love in your heart…if you can do that, gentlemen, then you’re perfect.” Being a playmaker has never been about being isolated or alone because we all need each other. We function best when we have a team of people around us that we are doing life with and together we experience defeat and victory. Playmakers experience peak performance in the context of community!
