𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐰𝐥 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲?

Everyone called it the dumbest play in Super Bowl history. 🗣️
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐭? 🤔
In 2015, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had a decision: 🧠
20 seconds left. ⏱️
One yard to go. 🟩
Down by 4 points.
2nd down.
One timeout.
The world expected a run. 🏃‍♂️
Instead, he called a pass.
Interception. Game over. 💥
Millions instantly judged it a catastrophic decision. ⚖️
But here’s what Annie Duke explains in *𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐬*: 📘

“Just because it didn’t work out doesn’t mean it was a bad decision.”

Carroll was 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐬, not just the moment.
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 2𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲.
It just didn’t work out.
That’s resulting—when we judge decisions solely by how things turned out.
And it happens in business all the time.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮:
✨ Kill a project because it didn’t “deliver” right away?
✨ Stick with a bad strategy because it happened to work once?
✨ Reward outcomes without understanding the thinking behind them?

If you want to make better decisions, steal this from poker pros:
🎯 Track the process, not just the result.
🎯 Make bets with incomplete info—but clear logic.
🎯 Review decisions regardless of the outcome.
Because business isn’t chess. It’s poker.
There’s no perfect information. Just smart bets and solid process.

🔁 Save this if you’re trying to make sharper decisions in uncertain times.
And tell us:

👉 Have you ever been right for the wrong reasons… or wrong despite doing everything right?
