Why knowing your insurance had me picking the winner of Superbowl LVI

I occasionally watch SportsCenter and catch a few highlights, that is the full extent of my NFL knowledge. I knew one player on the field at the start of the game OBJ… because as big fan of The Rock I watched Ballers. So how did life as an insurance adviser lead to me think the Rams would win?

Sports like personal finance is about having a sound game plan. Whether its rugby, league, basketball or football by time you have made the finals your team obviously know how to put points on the board. This is like your investment, property, KiwiSaver whatever.

I have often said when it comes to the big games, big derby matches, big playoffs games and grand finals in team sports the best defensive team will win. It most definitely rings true in rugby and for a short time coaching it was a strong focus when I came to a team that could run up the scoreboard all year and couldn’t get the W in a final. A change to a defensive mindset had that team win 5 finals on the trot.

The days before SBLVI a quick call to a friend in the states who loves the game with one simple question helped pick the winner “who is the best defensive team?”. His response “Rams have the defensive superstars Donald, Miller and Ramsey” there you have it LA Rams would win the Super Bowl. When push comes to shove and the pressure is on your defence needs to hold just like insurance. It’s not as glamorous and the MVP almost never goes to defensive stars but it’s what required to make a champion.
