"When a team is in possession of the ball, but cannot advance its agenda any further, they have to 'drop back and punt.' Doing this requires that they step back to regroup, reassess, and reorganize their strategy in pursuit of winning the game. When you are faced with change and apply this regrouping process, you are better equipped to make decisions for your next steps. Rather than settling back into old habits and doing what you've always done, create something fresh, new, and awesome."
