On enhancing your environment, adding value, and stretching yourself
BASKETBALL TIP
Champions spend their time trying to enhance what they are doing, what their teams are doing, and the atmospheres of their lives and those around them.
Are you out there every day actively trying to enhance what is going on?
Making a drill run more smoothly?
Trying to turn seven repetitions per minute into eight?
Trying to make the practice atmosphere more positive?
Find more opportunities to enhance the environment that you are in.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“When you don’t know what to do in a situation, ask yourself, ‘What would the person I want to be do in this situation?’ Then do that.
You can’t add value to the lives of anyone else until you’ve added enough value to your own.”
– Drew Dudley
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better?
Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them?
Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow?
And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will stretch you?
The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it’s not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset. This is the mindset that allows people to thrive during some of the most challenging times in their lives.”
– Carol Dweck
