Re: Chairman's Award -- is the bar too high now?

I leave it to your google skill-set to find the sources.
Very true and yet, we have several teams who are worthy now of the Championship Chairman's and have been, just as 341 has been. There are other teams who grow closer with each passing year. We are not lacking in any way of worthy teams who work hard each year to maintain that worth and to deepen it.

If teams think the Chairman's Award is unobtainable, it is the thinking of the team that is limiting the possibility. It is not the award or the potential opportunity of garnering the award that is limiting the possibility. When a team understands that it is limiting itself and wants to change that, then it can begin to plan, to organize, and to decide what to do about the directions that it is free (and has been free) to move in. Some teams have a hard time figuring that out but when they do - it is golden. That is when the truth of Mr. Browning's words ring truest.
