That’s Why They Play the Game – is a popular sports truism meaning that the game isn’t decided

on paper. One team might have more talent and might be favored to win the game by oddsmakers, but

when the game is actually played there is no certainty that the favorite will always win. After analyzing

sports games for over 40 years, Stockton is a master at knowing how the best teams win by never

underestimating their competition, being prepared and always doing their best. As one of the most

recognized voices in sports, Stockton entertains and captivates his audiences with his unique ability to

tell the stories behind many of the major sports happenings and the people who made them happen. He

shares key lessons from successes and failures, and “That’s why they play the game to see who’ll win.”

Drawing from his more than four decades of analyzing

sports, Stockton observed how different approaches from the finest coaches and managers were

instrumental in the success of teams that became champions. He provides his audience with best

practices and tools they can utilize to move their own teams to success.

This dynamic presentation is the story of Stockton’s success in a highly-
competitive business. How it all developed with twists and turns, highs and lows and ultimate belief in his

ability to win. His valuable business lessons and positive mental attitude transcend sports. He gives the

audience a 5-step process to motivate themselves and their teams to perform at their highest potential

and accomplish goals they never thought were possible.
