unexpected ways • I love football soccer. Every week I meet up with colleagues from work to play. • An annual highlight at work is the Bain World Cup, a yearly tournament between offices from around the world. In 2012, our team represented Mexico at the event for the first time. I took vacation days and travelled to Chicago to play. • In one of the matches we were trying really hard to score, but we were not lucky. A lot of time was lost getting the ball back to play. That day my knee was sore and I was slow. I realized that the best way to help my team was to leave the field. During half time, I asked for a substitution so I could get the ball back to play as soon as possible. • We won with a goal in the last minute. Even though it was hard to sit the game out; by giving up my place, I helped the team gain extra play time.
