The @CAST_UDL Guidelines are getting a major overhaul. I wonder what #UDL and multiple means of representation will look like in 2024 #udlchat https://t.co/99ugsEwt4L
In 1992-93, Jimmy Johnson led the Dallas Cowboys to the Conference Championship game.
Just 2 years before, they were 1-15.
Now he was playing the San Francisco 49ers to go to the Super Bowl.
But the field was wet that day and they were playing at SF.
Jimmy wasn't going to leave anything to chance that day.
He got up that morning and walked every inch of the field. He charted the entire field for his team.
Jimmy went back into the locker room and debriefed the team.
He told them to put on longer cleats because of how wet the field was.
Then he had a long talk with his offensive coordinator, Norv Turner.
He told him, "If you run the five route or any comeback routes to Michael Irvin or any of our wide receivers, make sure to run it is on this side of the field. It has solid footing and grass on this side of the field. The other side of the field is damp."
He then told Norv, "If you are going to run Emmitt Smith on cuts or sweeps then do it on this side of the field."
Norv Turner and the team adjusted the game plan.
After a slow start, the Cowboys would go on to beat the 49ers 30-20. 2 weeks later, they would go on to beat the Buffalo Bills for their first Super Bowl since 1977.
Takeaway:
Little things can make big things happen. Jimmy Johnson turned a potential disadvantage into an advantage for his team. He knew that every detail was going to matter in a big game, and that could be the difference between winning and losing
Jimmy didn't complain about the weather or not playing in a dome, he went out there and looked at what he could control. He adapted to the situation and that ultimately influenced their strategy and planning.
"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra." - Jimmy Johnson
