Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day!
Today’s date is made of 3 perfect squares and they form a Pythagorean triple: 3² + 4² = 5²
This only happens once a century.
Pep Guardiola can hardly contain himself…
“Thinking, thinking, thinking…you can control your thinking”
He’s wrong of course. You can’t control your thinking - but you can certainly take control of your response to the thoughts you have.
But the message is a strong one. For me, he’s basically saying that his Manchester City team have to get it right mentally. They have to be outstanding mentally.
To control the game they have to be able to take control of themselves as individuals and as teammates. They have to take control and take charge.
By taking control…by being in their High Performance Mindsets…they give themselves a better chance to win more moments (there are thousands of mini-moments during a game that are won or that are lost). By winning more moments, they give themselves a better chance to manage momentum (for and against).
But here’s the thing…here’s a little secret for you…
Teams and players being able to start and stay in their High Performance Mindset…that’s important. But even more important is individuals and teams avoiding the drop down to Low Performance Mindset.
It’s Low Performance Mindset that kills wins and invites losses. It’s Low Performance Mindset that brutalises awareness, anticipation, and decision-making. It’s Low Performance Mindset that detours physical functioning, technical competency, and tactical coordination.
Ambitious sporting organisations must do everything they can do systemically to prevent Low Performance Mindset. Everything!
Everything
Everything
Everything
That’s your biggest killer right there!
