bitcreed congratulates the Kansas City Chiefs on their Superbowl LVII win.
While the game was fantastic and thrilling to watch, it's not excelling at one game that will win you a title but rather a set of strong skills distributed throughout the team and perfected through hours and hours of dedicated perseverance and ongoing motivation.
So what skillset do both NFL players and software developers need? Here are our favorite picks:
Problem Solving Both NFL players and software developers need to be able to analyze and solve problems effectively. NFL players must quickly identify and react to situations on the field, while software developers must find solutions to complex technical problems.
Communication Effective communication is critical in both NFL and software development. NFL players must communicate with their teammates on the field, while software developers must be able to communicate with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. Note that implicit communication, hints and cues are a must in any outstanding team.
Teamwork Both professions require individuals to be able to work well in a team environment. NFL players must work together with their teammates on the field, while software developers must collaborate with colleagues to deliver high-quality products. Without teamwork, none of the other skills matter in any sizeable project.
