Episode #399
Define success by controllable standards and how you play, not by a single final outcome or scoreboard.
Ask more and tell less—questions build athletes’ awareness, decision-making, confidence, and retention.
Use structured post-game reflection (“what went well and why” and “what can we do better—how?”) to align learning and reveal perspective gaps.
If you think about it in terms of one outcome, one final outcome, you're going to be miserable.
Right place, right time, doing the right things.
Don't accept in victory what you wouldn't accept in defeat.
