I hope so. God, I've practiced so much that I you don't want to be worse five years later. I feel I have a great game today. I know how hard it is to pull off those great shots, and I know how easy it is to miss, so I'm more aware of these things. But I'm so happy I'm at the age I am right now because I had such a great run and I know there's still more possible.

But I also worked to ensure that my efforts would resonate with kids and families - and that meant doing things in a creative and unconventional way.

Leaders is the new organisation do not lack motivational tools, but the tools are different from those of traditional corporate bureaucrats.
