Lessons from Hockey That Apply to Entrepreneurship
Exeter, RI – Oct 02, 2025 - David PaoloEntrepreneurship is often compared to sports, and for good reason. As someone who plays hockey several times a week, I see the parallels every time I step onto the ice. Discipline: Success requires preparation and persistence. The same is true in business.
Teamwork: No matter how talented you are, progress depends on the people around you.
Resilience: You’ll get knocked down, but the winners are the ones who get back up.
These lessons carry over directly into my work building companies. Whether it was taking Log On America public years ago, or now creating a Web3 crowdfunding platform, the principles of resilience and teamwork have always guided me. Hockey isn’t just a game for me — it’s a reminder that every setback is an opportunity to regroup and push harder.
