" Being a student-athlete helped me with time management ; and being on the basketball team taught me to deal with obstacles . The lessons I learned , such as following the coaches ' game plan and the importance of buy-in help me at work . If you can adapt to what a coach says they want on the floor , you can adapt to your supervisor who gives you a set of rules and expectations in the workplace . I also value the small program sense of family and being part of the team ."
