Transferable Work Quality #4: Purpose

Inside the book and game of CareerBall: As an athlete, you possess a fundamental purpose underlying your success—a sense of purpose in what you have accomplished. And fundamental to this purpose is caring about other people, about being aware of what the people around you need. You have learned about helping teammates play better and compete intelligently. Maybe you came from an athletic program in which you didn’t talk exclusively about winning, but also about life’s great lessons. Maybe your athletic history has helped you see the constant quest to be the best you can be. For you, sports was more than just a game—it also provided you with a sense of purpose.

Make certain all your future employers know you possess this quality, and be prepared to cite personal examples where each quality was learned.
