Pause to consider if the amount of attention you are giving to something is equivalent to its importance.

Don’t let small things derail you from the big picture.

For any worthy pursuit, there will be struggle.

Choose something worth struggling for.

The trajectory of your path is connected to the quality of your decisions day after day.

Be that person who builds others up behind their back.

Mucho stress. 😶‍🌫️😂 Kim, we love you!! Episode 10 with Fernando Tatis Jr. MISTER available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify. Eric Hosmer Peter Moylan Justin Su'a Anthony Seratelli MoonBall Media

Don’t let your confidence in what you know keep you from figuring out what you don’t know.

I loved this '5P Framework' for confidence from Justin Su'a on the latest podcast. You can check out our entire conversation here: ericcressey.com/csp-elite-base…

Discipline is doing what needs to be done even though you don’t feel like doing it.

Refuse to be so focused on where you want to be that it robs the joy of being where you are now.

Trust in your ability to find a way to improve. The situation may not be ideal and things might not be happening the way you expected; but don’t let these unique circumstances stop you from building a better version of yourself.

One of Eric Cressey’s many skills is to teach things so simply that players not only understand it, but they cannot misunderstand it.

We welcome Justin Su’a (Justin Su'a) to the podcast for a deep dive into how athletes can establish good processes, separate out bad outcomes, and build unshakable confidence. This intrigued me as a coach, business owner, father, and husband:

Don’t place so much weight on other people’s opinions of you, especially if they don’t know you. You are the most important person you speak to everyday. It’s okay if others don’t believe in you, what matters most is that you believe in you.

Leadership principle:

You can’t read other people’s minds.
You can’t expect them to read your mind.

Communicate.

A recipe for getting in your own way:

Focusing on what other people are doing and worrying about what they think about you.

Brad Stevens was asked, 'What's the one thing that you look for when hiring a coach or drafting a new player?'

His answer was just two words.

Brad may now be the GM of the Boston Celtics, but his answer hasn't changed in over 15 years since coaching at Butler.

He said,

Hard work is necessary but not sufficient.

Focus is necessary but not sufficient.

Grit is necessary but not sufficient.

A growth mindset is necessary but not sufficient.

Success does not come from one thing but a combination of many things over time.

A good question to consider during tough times:

Is my attitude helping or hurting the situation?
