Doing Without Failing

What would you attempt to do if you could not fail?

Coach Bruce Arena asked this question to the U.S. Men's National soccer team before their must-win match against Jamaica. Yes, they won 2-1, with Joe-Max Moore (formerly of the New England Revolution) scoring both goals.

What would you attempt to do if you could not fail?

Since I've read this question, my mind's been clamoring for an answer. I don't have one yet; could there even be one definitive answer? Such a compelling question!

Coach Arena used this question to excite and motivate his team. "What would you attempt to do if you could not fail?" Fantastic motivator. Superb response.
