While watching Monday night football, there was an interview with Bill Belichick’s boss at the Cleveland Browns. He said how impressed he was with the young Belichick. He described it as an understanding that Belichick had been preparing to be an NFL head coach since he was 10 years old. He compared the phenomenon to JFK - both had that special quality of appearing to be authentically prepared for the task. I wonder what needs to happen in all those years of development for someone to come out the other side so thoroughly prepared.

Also, I came across an interview of a past Patriots player who said Coach Belichick sat in coach on the team plane and gave the first-class seats to his veteran players - now that’s leadership! They put their team first.
