Bill Walsh's transformation of the 49ers, prioritizing discipline, detail, and continuous improvement over winning per se, illustrates this point. 'If the players take care of the details, the score takes care of itself,' Holiday notes. This approach proved crucial in transforming his team, reinforcing the notion that excellence in small things inevitably leads to larger successes.
