Twice named among the top 100 inspiring people by PharmaVOICE magazine, Terrell "Terry" Herring has served as president of commercial operations for Mission Pharmacal Company since 2010. Currently residing in Pennsylvania, Terrell "Terry" Herring enjoys both college and professional sports, especially basketball and football. The parallels between sports and business are many yet Herring draws particular inspiration from three main commonalities. First, the importance of working together as a team. It is possible to have the best players and not win a championship. Teams win titles, not players. Being a team is not always enough, however, both in sports and business the best results are achieved by formulating and working to follow a winning game plan. It is important to develop a blueprint for success and actually have a clear vision of how to obtain the desired results. When developing a game plan, it is important to try to factor in any potential obstacles. Inevitably, however, situations can arise that are unexpected and unanticipated. In those instances, it is vitally important to be adaptable. Being able to update plans when roadblocks appear is essential to developing a consistently winning team. All of these attributes can also be applied to business, and Terrell Herring has made that connection and strives to infuse his work life with those three commonalities every day.

Instead of the usual game film study session after a routine Sunday practice, owner Robert Kraft arranged for the New England Patriots an exclusive screening of Mark Wahlberg’s recently released movie, “Deepwater Horizon,” at Showcase Cinema de Lux in Patriot Place. Before the movie started, the team was treated to a surprise meeting with Mr. Wahlberg, who introduced the film about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, April 2010. Deepwater Horizon follows the tale of crew member Mike Williams, portrayed by Mark Wahlberg, and others who lived the devastating oil rig explosion. The film was an inspiring reminder for Coach Bill Belichick and his team about the effort and commitment it takes to be successful. Deepwater Horizon also features Kurt Russell, Kate Hudson, Gina Rodriguez, and John Malkovich.

Terrell Herring has spent the last six years as president of commercial operations at Mission Pharmacal Company in San Antonio. Having played basketball during his time at the Citadel Military College of South Carolina, Terrell Herring continues to engage in the sport whenever he has the chance. With regards to recreational basketball, not everyone has access to a space as large as a regulation basketball court. In other situations, teams may be too small to properly contest a full-court game. In either case, basketball fans can modify the game by playing half-court basketball. The concept of half-court basketball can be applied to an actual basketball court or to any single-hoop setting, such as a driveway. Following any score in a game of half-court basketball, the offensive team must take the ball to the top of the arc, or some other designated area, to begin a new possession. To initiate play, players much check the ball. Checking the ball involves the offensive player passing to an opponent, who immediately returns the ball to begin play. In the event of a steal or live ball turnover, the basketball must be dribbled or passed behind the designated boundary before the offensive team can attempt to score. For the most part, half-court basketball rules mirror that of traditional basketball. However, players can follow official three-on-three half-court rules to further simplify the game. For example, jump ball scenarios during a half-court game generally result in the defensive team receiving the ball. |
