First impressions mean everything
We have always been told how important first impressions are. In the world of sales, the first impression that you leave upon your client might be the difference between making or breaking the sale. In the school student environment, your first actions in front of a group of your new peers might very well label you for the rest of the school year. I have found out that in the sports world, this philosophy is very accurate. I did not get a chance to go to a professional sporting event until I hit the age of 23, so I missed out on the feeling a young child gets when they see the professional football stadium, hockey rink, race track, or other sport venue for the first time. But I was still awestruck that year when I got to see a football game at the old Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minn. To a person that had only watched his “heroes” on television since he was a kid, it was a thrill to be at a pro game for the first time.
