Behind the Scenes: Post-game interview with Jorge Polanco
Mar 30, 2025Just in case you were wondering... and I know some of you are because I frequently get questions (more like comments on social media) inquiring about my thought process during post-game interviews. It's usually some form of "What was she thinking?"
Now you don't have to guess or wonder, I'm pulling back the curtain for the first time and sharing my thought process and factors at play when guiding the conversation during a post-game interview.
Jorge Polanco played both hero and goat during the Mariners 2025 Opening Day win against the A's and we talked about the good and the bad during the walk-off, on-field interview. It's always easier to talk after wins but it doesn't mean we can (or should) avoid the mistakes - something that's true in sports and business.
Going behind the scenes of this post-game interview gives you an idea of how approach conversations about accountability with your team at work. It's another way to think outside the box scores and make sports conversations useful in business communication.
