If you look at the greats, they don’t just well perform on the day. They perform well on the day because they’ve practiced different eventualities, every move thousands of times before the day, making it look simple. Deliberate practice. They sweat the details.
We don’t see the minute details of their practice and tweaking and sacrifice they do every day or the way they outwork everyone. This is what separates them. Overnight successes don’t exist.
I recently had to perform in a sense and, although I practiced, I completely bombed on the day. I didn’t practice enough and I never want to feel like that again. The two options are: practice until it’s ingrained in my mind and muscles or give up. Simple as.
You can have a great plan, run through it a few times, but until it’s a part of you you won’t pull it off smoothly as I discovered.
So: practice hundreds or thousands of times or be mediocre or worse. It’s okay to be average if you’re okay with it. Greatness demands daily commitment and sacrifice.
How much does your thing mean to you? Can you accept the results?
Either way, there’s a lesson in it for you.
Which will you choose? What have you learned?
