Making new mistakes is evidence that progress is being made.

People who love their craft show up every day regardless of how they feel. They’re committed to their process and value their commitments more than their feelings.

Elite performers are internally driven to be great and intently focused on becoming the best versions of themselves.

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Pursue mastery of their skills

2️⃣ Focus on continuous learning and growth

3️⃣ Supported by others

4️⃣ Have challenging but achievable goals

The more invested you are in your craft, the more painful failure will be.

What worked for you in the past may not work for you in the future.

The best at what they do are always evolving.

Leverage the power of visualization.

Take some time to:

1️⃣ See yourself perform before you perform

2️⃣ Feel yourself have a great practice

3️⃣ See yourself responding to adversity

4️⃣ Visualize how you want your day to go

Where the mind goes, the body flows.

A thinking trap that impacts us daily:

The less we know about a subject, the more we overestimate our actual knowledge of it.

Don’t confuse experience with expertise.

Thermometers display the temperature.

Thermostats set the temperature.

Often, we default to being like a thermometer—reflecting the mood, actions, and energy around us.

But, we can choose to be a thermostat and be aware of our surroundings, and then set our own temperature.

Sometimes we lack confidence and perform well.

Sometimes we have confidence and perform poorly.

Confidence is nice to have, but it’s possible to succeed without it.

Teams thrive when each member dominates their role.

Preparation precedes confidence.

Your mind knows if you put in the work.

Teams thrive when each member focuses on the success of the team instead of the success of themselves.

Soldiers are excellent examples of this principle. It often doesn't matter when things are difficult because other people’s lives depend on their ability to execute their role.

Being open-minded isn’t just a state—it’s an action.

Open-minded individuals are proactively looking for why they might be wrong, not just why they’re right.

People who do great things don’t get a lot done every day.

They get something done every day, rather than nothing.

Are you that bad that you have to feel good to play well? #RavizzaismsXMojoLab

Often, productive action is not doing what your emotions are telling you to do.

Act different from how you feel.

Part of focusing on your process means narrowing in on the trajectory of where you’re going, rather than worrying about your current position.

Utilize competition and pressure in practice to create experiences for a big moment long before the actual big moment.

The mental game should be practiced in practice.

Always love having 2 legends at Miller park🤙
