Jim Harbaugh says the same thing to his teams before every game.

It's not a hype speech and it's not about the scoreboard - it's meant to remove the feeling of pressure.

It's a simple three-line message.

Here's what it is...

Jim Harbaugh says,
“Play as hard as you can.
Play as fast as you can.
For as long as you can.
Keep your wits about you.
And don't worry.”

It’s simple and powerful and anchors you on the present moment.

Let me explain why it works...

Because it shifts your mind from fear to action.

Don’t overthink...Just go and do. Attack the moment.

It removes the distraction of worrying to focus on the work.

When you focus on the work, you free yourself from outcomes.

Listen to Harbaugh explain it in the video because this mindset shifts your focus to action and the work - play hard, play fast, don’t overthink.
• Pressure can tighten you up.
• Worry will slow you down.

This frees you up to compete.

The quote and idea for this post comes from Jim Harbaugh's interview with @GlueGuys_Pod.
