Championship Execution: Measures What Matters 

Matt has timed tens of thousands of pit stops over his career. Each pitstop is broken down into at least twenty-five distinct time segments for critical review and improvement. Measuring the things that matter provides quantifiable results that can be improved upon. 

NASCAR Pit crews spend about 60 - 80 seconds a week actually working on getting results; changing tires, fueling and adjusting the car during the race. Each pit stop can be 10-12 seconds with the average of 5 - 7 pits tops per race. These Pit Athletes are required to workout, rehab, stretch, watch film, setup & tear down, all of which is important. However, at the end of the day, it's the number on the stopwatch that matters. 

The same holds true in the business world. Ultimately, it's all about the results. Tenths of a second on pit road mean the difference between winning and losing. Forty years ago, Peter Drucker famously wrote, " what gets measured, gets improved" and it's just as true today. Are you measuring what matters?
