Mindset.

🗣️ Tracy McGrady: "I actually think we'll be talking about Charlotte for the next 5-10 years because they're building a culture there... from top to bottom, they're doing a great job, and I salute their personnel over there for what they're building in Charlotte."

Steph Curry pulls no punches…

“Your state of mind is the main driving force behind your successes and failures”

Is this true? I suspect it varies from individual to individual. But what I do know is that mindset (however that is defined) is constantly mediating three human aspects:

-engagement
-development
-performance

And what I believe is that as a result of this omnipresence, it’s critical to consider mindset for every process and in every decision. Mindset for any ambitious player and any ambitious team should be front and centre. Not because it’s the most important aspect, but because it’s constantly mediating, constantly influencing, constantly determining.

Head coaches and leaders in high performance environments need to shout from the rooftops about mindset. They need to develop it in themselves and in their people in every conversation, in every meeting, in every practice, and in every process. Mindset intentionally designed and deliberately improved.

Mindset intentionally designed and deliberately improved…

At the granular level, for me, mindset is three mental skills:

Attention
Intensity
Intent

All three impinging on engagement, development, and performance. All three impacting decision-making, task completion, solution-finding, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, contribution…

Attention - staying focused and connected
Intensity - strength of engagement (alertness and readiness)
Intent - a mind-body state influencing direction of energy (forward or back)

Steph Curry believes his state of mind is critical to his basketball. I believe it’s critical to every second of every day…for everyone!

As the discussion over the bases-loaded play in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 continues, one thing I haven’t seen pointed out: Blue Jays third-base coach Carlos Febles marked the exact spot where he wanted Isiah Kiner-Falefa to lead off.

There are so many elements to this one play. Should he have taken another step? He was told not to, a point reinforced by other players, who have rightly pointed out that the fear of getting doubled off prompts coaches to keep runners close to the bag. Should he have run through home? Maybe, but it’s damn near impossible, with the speed of the game, to know where the throw is taking the catcher, and sliding is the standard practice.

Regardless, it’s illustrative of how many decisions go into a single play — and illustrates the nuances of the game that so often go unseen.

Confidence isn’t a mindset you find, it’s a skill you build. You don’t think your way into confidence. You act your way into it. By doing what you say you're going to do. By keeping your promises to yourself. By showing up. Day after day. Week after week. Year after year.
