On Lunging for Steals, Habits, and Mastery
Feb. 10 | The 3-Point Play
BASKETBALL TIP
On lunging for a steal.
Good boxers don’t take wild swings. It doesn’t bode well to lunge forward, get off balance & get knocked out.
Defense is similar.
Good defenders don’t lunge & get out of position. Because if they do, they know they’ll get beat.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
The habits you have when it doesn’t matter are the habits you have when it matters most.
LIFE PRINCIPLE
Mastery requires both impatience and patience.
The impatience to have a bias toward action, to not waste time, and to work with a sense of urgency each day.
and…
The patience to delay gratification, to wait for your actions to accumulate, and to trust the process.
