I find there is a lot of things from sports that can be overlapped with business. It is why many great athletes become great business people. Peter Thiel takes it one step farther, saying that a company has two types of people, “nerds and athletes.” Nerds to build and athletes to market and compete. Since I tend to lean towards the athlete side, I am going to explain the similarities that can be helpful in any type of athlete and business person. (I wouldn’t say change your job interview questions to ‘what sports you do’, but I would maybe bring it up in conversation.)
