The strategy of successful athletes, which helps to win in sport and life
Motivation / / December 19, 2019
Most often, we think we have something to focus on to achieve success. But what if the concentration on the ultimate challenge is not important? With coaches agree Neck Smart (Shaka Smart) and John Fox (John Fox), who advise athletes to "trust the process."
One of the first the idea began to spread American football coach Nick Saban (Nick Saban). He told her about a psychiatry professor Lionel Rosen (Lionel Rosen).
The main idea is to Rosen that sport, especially football - a difficult thing. No one can fully follow all possible scenarios during the season, not to mention the particular game.
During the season a large number of games, players, statistics and other things to create an incredible burden. At the same time, in his book on the Saban wrote Monte Burke (Monte Burke), Rosen found that an average of one game in football only lasts seven seconds.
He asked the question: What if the team will focus only on those seven seconds - on the fact that it can control? What if you try to do everything step by step, not concentrating on victory?
Nick Saban, the coach of American football.Do not think about winning the European Individual Championship. Do not think about the national championship. Think about what you need to do during this approach, during the game, at this very moment. This is the process: let's think about what we can do today about the upcoming task.
This idea was assimilated players Saban, who for eight years have won 20 times in three different championships. He coaches himself at the same time also received several awards.
Following the process of making the complex simple
Imagine that you need to do something complex. Do not focus on it - to break a problem into parts. And just do what you have to do now, with maximum efficiency. Then move on to the next part. Follow the process and not the result.
The road to success in any field - is the way in which you go step by step.
You just need to do what is important now, but it should be done with confidence, without being distracted no matter what. Then even the greatest difficulties will be fully overcome with time.
This demonstrated one of the pioneers in the field of meteorology James Pollard Espy (James Pollard Espy), which is up to 18 years did not know how to read and write. Once he heard the famous speech speaker Henry Clay (Henry Clay), and when he finished, Espy tried to talk to him, but could not squeeze out a single word. Then one of his friends shouted: "He wants to be like you, though, and can not read!".
Clay took one of the posters on which was written in large letters of his surname - CLAY. He looked at Espy and said: "You see, boy? This is the letter A. You left to learn all 25 letters of the other. " So Espy understand the essence of the process. A year later, he went to college.
Process - opposed disorder
Disordered mind losing the essence of what is important right now, and is distracted by thoughts of the future. This may sound obvious, but we often forget about it at the right time.
If now someone knocked you off your feet and pinned to the ground, how would you react? Probably would have panicked. And then with all his strength tried to throw this man with himself. But it would not help: the weight of his body he can without too much effort to squeeze your shoulders to the ground. And you, trying to escape, soon out of breath.
Process - something strictly opposite. First, do not panic, you gather all your energy. You do not do anything stupid, and do not waste your efforts in vain. You focus on, so as not to become worse. Then you raise your hands, typing a deep breath, roll over and grab the villain's hand or pinch his thighs - in general, step by step, doing everything to make the attacker began to surrender. As long as not free.
Be trapped in - it's just a position, not a sentence.
When you are preparing to release a product, competition can scare you. When you want to write a book or make a movie, you can wind up a large amount of work. Often we giving up because we believe the task impossible.
In fact, any problem can be solved - enough to break it into pieces and just begin to perform, step by step. When you know you are going to do next, arising obstacles do not seem so insurmountable.
Do not hurry. Some problems to solve more complex than others. First, take out the ones that are right in front of your nose. Then move on to the others. You all must succeed.
