I don't want more followers or a following. I don't want or have a niche. I love range & am fascinated by many things. I am here for knowledge & ideas.
Ingvar Kamprad, entrepreneur and founder of IKEA, on making mistakes:
"Only while sleeping one makes no mistakes. Making mistakes is the privilege of the active โ of those who can correct their mistakes and put them right."
"Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity." -@JamesClear
@AlexJSarama As someone who cares about leaving the game somehow better in ways than I found it, I applaud the detail in preparing coaches "how" to specifically serve each player.

๐ - I think communication is a skill like shooting.
๐ - Sports makes you solve complex challenges.
Watched all 422 (3s) the college team I'm volunteer coaching for took last season. I charted many things, but one was if the 3 was taken from a pass in the shooter's pocket or outside of it. The striking results (similar to other times I've done this) --- PASSING ACCURACY MATTERS
After nearly 11 months since my ACL/Meniscus surgery, I'm returning to sport this afternoon for my first game of doubles pickleball...beyond stoked and huge shoutout to my PT team.
After seeing hundreds of college/pro teams practice, culture is most evident in the "small moments", often in moments coaches don't have mental capacity to recognize. The quick eye roll or sudden glance between teammates, the body language reaction or misinterpretation. While it's a player's responsibility to protect their confidence (their plant/seed), often the environment makes such a difference in how easy it is to grow (soil).
A relevant example from a D1 women's volleyball practice which I weaved into my confidence presentation with them:

Nervous? Good.
Nervousness isnโt a problem, itโs a privilege. It means you care, & your body knows something important is happening.
Donโt fight it. Welcome it.
One day, you wonโt get this feeling & thatโll be worse. Nerves mean youโre alive, capable, & lucky to compete.
For so long I've taught athletes about the six sources of confidence, but beliefs actually hold a potentially more powerful place below the "skill of confidence."
Yep, @JamesClear hit the nose on this one. I have often passed on opportunities or found myself more qualified/skilled than a person with a "title" but I've made decisions based on quality of life and controlling my time and it's been a rewarding race.
