Thriving Thursdays**: JRUE HOLIDAY
We’re coming up on one month, since my beloved Celtics are BACK to being THE most successful franchise ever. But I'm not here to gloat, I'm here to talk about Jrue Holiday winning 2 championships in the last 4 years. @LavelleMoton sums it up pretty spectacularly in this tweet.
But my own spin is that whenever I’m on the court - especially when I’m out of rhythm, or settling in, or not sure what to do with myself (we’re talking about a no skillz req pickup league after all :) I just repeat in my head “find a way to help your team” and it gets my tuned in to the gaps unfolding and how I can fill them.
Jrue Holiday has a beyond-outstanding ability to close gaps before they happen, make crunch time steals, and unselfishly, consistently, provide whatever the team needs, whatever that looks like, whether or not there’s a statistic for it.
So my mentality is to *be* a Jrue Holiday, because everyone *needs* a Jrue Holiday, and I see my best self reflected in the way he works. To me this means: work hard, be humble, figure out whatever it is that needs to be done and do it, stay locked in to what your team needs, and win wherever you go.
Thank you @Jrue Holiday and family, Boston Celtics, Glushon Sports Management and everyone else involved in helping Jrue Holiday be the inspiration he is.
**Every Thursday, starting today, I’m posting about something that is *inspiring* me that has nothing to do with women’s health, or health equity, or life sciences, or birth control. Because the real reason I’m here has very little to do with any of that. It has to do with a forever desire to see people thrive, and by extension a desire to help people thrive. And so, I’m sharing about something that’s helping me thrive, every Thursday: a song, a basketball player, a recipe… most of the time it’ll probably be one of those three, which probably already tells you a lot about me. Here we go 🙃
