One thing I learned is to be true to my own convictions.   The reality is doing what you think will please your boss or others, will not protect you if things go south.   My feeling is if I am going to be called on the carpet for a decision, it will be one that I made based on my convictions.   I found being reamed out for a decision I didn't really agree with was a terrible experience.

That's well and good, but I place very little credence in factors in a "regular" job having much applicability in the high pressure world of professional sports and jobs for which there are only 32 openings in the entire country.  Just my opinion.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist. 

Not slowing my roll

Two of my jobs literally risked people dying if I screwed up.  So when I hear about the "high pressure" entertainment industry jobs...
SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

Agreed. I walk that line everyday. Sports is a privilege.

There are different kinds of pressure.
