People think that when it comes to running faster or performing better, it’s about the workouts. How far did you run; how much did you lift?
Those are the details.
When it comes to performance, it’s all about your foundation.

1. Accept where you are.
Getting better isn’t about lofty goals or shooting for perfection.
It’s about having clarity on what you are capable of right now and what the challenge ahead is.
We want to have goals and challenges just a touch beyond where we are right now.

2. Be present in your craft
It’s the Giannis quote, “"When you focus on the past, that's your ego... And when I focus on the future it's my pride... And I kind of like to focus in the moment, in the present. And that's humility.”
Step away from the distraction candy store.

3. There’s no such thing as an overnight breakthrough.
True development takes time. Adopt a long-term, patience-guided mindset.
Don’t shoot for heroic efforts, shoot for consistency. It’s stacking week after week, month after month, of good solid work that gets the job done.

4. Those Around You Shape You
Those around us, in our corner, shape who we are more than nearly any other factor. Behaviors, emotions, and even values are contagious. If something infiltrates our group, it becomes part of us as well.

What you stand for is often what your community stands for.
Be intentional and deliberate on who you surround yourself with. They shape you.

5. Choose simplicity over complexity
It can be tempting to think the answer to performing better lies in the new-fangled exercise routine, supplement, or routine. It doesn’t. Kobe Bryant once gave advice to NBA star Giannis: “You’ve got to be simple.”
Nail the basics.

Constantly work on your craft, over and over again.
The boring stuff is your foundation.
