@Budgetdog_ When I say true more generally: I would likely attribute to availability bias. It’s easier to recall and see examples of people not caring because it impacts you, compared to seeing someone on fire for what they do because it isn’t relevant to you.
@Budgetdog_ I disagree because of my experiences, but I can see how this might be true generally. There are likely places like that, but also places that want to grow, seek to explore what is possible, and are investing in their people to help them grow and explore what they are capable of.
@mitch_blanko This is the #1 problem since the BCS days. A national championship does not go to the best team. It goes to the team who had the best season. By trying to equate them, you create issues.
The best part of coaching is getting to see people challenge their pre-conceived notions of their potential. The fun is not in the end result; it is in the taking of the risk to see where that line actually is.
The #1 performance killer:
Avoidance.
Avoidance of the hard things.
Avoidance of discomfort.
Avoidance of conflict.
Avoidance of your own emotions.
Avoidance of the truth.
@les7spellman Try to write every day and read one research paper a day. Take notes in a way that you can pull them back out and cite without having to go back to the paper. Look at what graduates do and compare to what you want for choosing the right program.
@JoelRenkema I have an unconfirmed path of 3:
0. Myself
1. Weston Noble
2. Unknown German Soldier/civilian
3. Hitler
But this path is very dependent on whether or not Weston shook hands with anyone who shook Hitler’s hand. He was in the tank brigade that rode into the Eagles nest.
