Whether or not you are a football fan (for the record, I am not), you likely know about the most exciting, game changing moment in the sport: the interception. What do you do when you suddenly get the opportunity to make the change you’ve been hoping for? What does it feel like to make a choice with all eyes and the outcome of the game resting on you?
