"I don't believe in talent.  I am here because I worked hard my whole life."

Success demands more—grit, resilience, and relentlessness effort.
There are no shortcuts or guarantees.
It's the relentless pursuit of excellence that separates the great from the merely talented.

I reread @jk_rowling’s 2008 Harvard speech a lot, especially this line:

“There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.”

Last week I was on a panel with an Astronaut/Navy Seal, elite marathoner, & a coach to the best triathletes

The topic: Achieving peak performance with an undercurrent of usage of data

Where did we end up on what mattered most?

Coaching cues are not necessarily about the words 📖

Cues should intuitively relate to feelings 🤗

If you want to run well, you need to learn to bounce.

One of the hardest but most important practices: realize that you are not the stuff inside your head. You are the awareness that decides what to do with the stuff inside your head. The ability to choose which thoughts to pursue and which to leave behind is key to everything.

Parents: Be careful chasing scholarships in sport.

They are far fewer than you think.

Examples:
I was #1 in the nation and received way more partial offers than full.

As a college coach: we had conference champs on next to nothing. And all-Americans on way less than 50%

[Ron Douglas @CoachRonDougie]

Can someone send a pole vault coach my way?! 👀

Stop one rep short.
Stop one sentence short.
Stop one meeting short.
Stop one problem short.

Remember: the goal generally isn't to get every single thing out of yourself today but rather to develop a consistent rhythm over many days. Okay to push, just not too far.

Recipe for a miserable life:
- Focus on what others have and what you don’t.
- Be jealous of other people’s strengths while focusing on your weaknesses.

Recipe for a happy life:
- Be thankful for what you have.
- Focus on your strengths.
- Celebrate the strengths of others.

Do the work.
Rest.
Progressively make it harder.
Tweak as needed.
Repeat. Over and over again.

No hacks. No bro-science. There is nothing complex about progress in most endeavors. It is as simple as what's above. And it is as hard as what's above.
