It's rare for professional athletes to admit weakness or to credit opposing players for stopping them. It's even rarer that they thank their opponents. But that's exactly what the Milwaukee Bucks' superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo did recently. After losing to the Toronto Raptors, Antetokounmpo acknowledged that Raptors players Kawhi Leonard and Marc Gasol gave him particular trouble. Giannis admitted that now the series is over, "every day in his head," he continues to see Gasol and Leonard coming at him. Then, Antetokounmpo went on to say something remarkable to his opponents: "Thank you." "Thank you, because Gasol and Kawhi made me a better player. I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I'm being honest. They're going to push me to be better." With these two words, Antetokounmpo revealed evidence of a remarkable and invaluable quality: The ability to learn from mistakes. #EmotionalIntelligence #GrowthMindset #leadership #management #BestAdvice #PersonalDevelopment #BusinessIntelligence #careers #Milwaukee #Bucks #GreekFreak #EQApplied #MakeEmotionsWorkForYouNotAgainstYou …see more
