How can we be better tomorrow?
Published on March 10th, 2025
There are 16 divisions on the entry list for 2025 Charleston Race Week to be held April 11-13 in Charleston, SC. Amid the après-racing with Mount Gay Rum, Regatta Craft Mixers, and Westbrook Beer will be America’s Cup winner and National Hall of Fame inductee Ed Baird to share his daily observations and tips.
“I think there is nothing different about a successful sailing team than any other successful sports or business team,” observed Baird. “You start with a foundation of people that are talented and hungry to become better; who are also willing to be good teammates and help each other to become better.
“Once you have built that foundation, you need to continuously ask yourself ‘how can we be better tomorrow?’ Then you will have great success. There is no magic, there is only hard work. There is no ‘oh if we would have that guy we would win’, that’s not how it works. The team has to work well together and they have to recognize that they always have to take another step tomorrow.” – Full report
