Human Error in Sports

Posted on by

Human errors in sports are a reality. They’ve change the results of games and cost people a spot in the record books, just ask Armando Galarraga. What should we do to try to eliminate these? Football has a challenge system allowing the coach to ask for a couple of plays a game to be reviewed. Basketball officials can review buzzer beaters and ensure a shooter was behind the arc on a 3 pointer. Does increasing the accuracy of these call make up for the delay in the game?

Some of the recent Post A Day topics:

  • Do You Prefer Talk or Text? – Talk. I don’t like and don’t have the attention span for text conversations. A message or 2, sure, but beyond that should be avoided.
  • Things That May You Smile – Random things that kids say.
  • Who Deserves More Credit (than they get)? – Moms.

Communication

The best way to communicate with someone is the way they want to be communicated with. Some people love text messages, some emails, others phone calls. If you are trying to reach out to someone you need to figure out their preference and use it. Using your preference may not get you too far.

For example, trying to have a text conversation with me is useless. I don’t have the attention span for it or the desire to take 20 minutes typing messages that could have been relayed in a 2 minute conversation. Also, thanks to Twitter, I’m used to ignoring my phone when it beeps because more likely than not it’s a random tweet. If you want to get in touch with me I suggest another approach, something that reduces the chance my ADD will kick in.
