TOPIC
EXCELLENCE
IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING EXCELLENT YOU HAVE TO BE EXCELLENT ALL THE TIME

Process:

• Are the habits you have today on par with your dreams for tomorrow?

• Does your work ethic & perseverance give your confidence daily? 

• Are you able to appreciate the journey to get the results?

“The process of loving the daily grind of it all & putting the puzzle together. This generation seems really concerned with the end result of things, versus understanding and appreciating the journey to get there. The trials and tribulations are the best part that comes along with it…there are successes and failures that are all part of the end game.”  -Kobe Bryant

MENTAL PERFORMANCE TOOL
Tool

• LEAN into that tension you feel when adversity and failure hit. Working on the edge of your capacity will result in failure and adversity, find ways to sit with that feeling and use it for good.  

• When things start getting difficult, remember the routines and habits you have built. That hard work is meant to pay off in these moments of struggle.

TODAY- Consider your habits for the day and if they are inching you closer to your desired outcomes. Seek to be aware of the tensions of your day---lean in!
