Boys on the Boat Quote

If you're involved in team development and haven't used a sports analogy or quoted a sports movie, are you even American? (Just kidding! Some of our readers aren't!) We're kicking off our first blog post with a quote from a sports movie - "The Boys on the Boat." Enjoy or groan.

The Boys in the Boat movie quote on becoming one – one with the boat and one with each other as a team:

“…every piece working with the other. It is the same with the team, so much so that there is no difference between the two. They are connected by all the hours spent together. Sweat and pain bleeds into the grain as they become one. One magical thing that moves across the water like it was born to be nowhere else … where everyone trusts the other.”

Another great quote from the movie: “Your Dad quit on you… You are not him. Or are you? It’s not about you… it’s about the boat.”
