we are only as good as our last game!
English to Spanish
Marketing
Advertising / Public Relations
Our past has been incredible but, as xxx a retired Superbowl NFL player always tells me, we are only as good as our last game! This true statement applies to every walk of life, and as we look forward to the future we must be sure that we are preparing for the success of tomorrow, and not get lost in the success of yesterday.

uno sólo es bueno si ha jugado bien el último partido
No sé si mi manera de expresarlo es la idónea (me temo que no, pero me perdonaréis por mi prolongada jornada laboral de hoy...), pero creo que el sentido es que sólo se te considera por lo último que has hecho y no por lo precedente, ya sea un partido o cualquier otra actividad de la vida, como explica el mismo texto... :-)

Ahora que lo releo, veo que lo he expresado fatal: "sólo cuenta lo que has hecho en el último partido" sería una mejor manera de decirlo (creo yo).

el último/más recién juego/partido demuestra [es indicador de] nuestra capacidad...
...o sea.. que hay posibilidad de que su eficacia/rendimiento aumente pero a final de cuentas...su último juego/partido es como marcador o medidor o indicador de su capacidad.
Ojalá ayude.
Suerte:-)

: es el único indicador válido - you nailed the concept, there's probably an idiomatic phrase too but it eludes me.

El exito del último partido es lo que se cuenta de lo bueno que somos. Los anteriores (sobre todo los malos partidos que hayas hecho). los ignoran.

El último partido es el único que cuenta
Similar to to other answers, but I believe this is the best wording: it means success is only measured by your last performance
3 hrs
somos sólo tan buenos como nuestro próximo partido!
It means: we won't know how good we are until the next game.
The previous game might have been good or bad but the next one it's what matters.
