Gave this one to my grandson. He wants to make soccer a career. I don't think it will be as a professional but I can see him coaching. ⚽️

“You can increase your performance by priming yourself in a positive mood prior to important work that involves problem solving and creative thinking. Equally important is to avoid a negative mood. In the interest of uping your performance, try to avoid people, places and things that may put you in a negative mood especially preceding meaningful work.”

So true! Indeed my recent practice at work. Good to know science proves it. 👍🏽 #performance

What makes a top performer? It‘s not about the experience, but the amount of deliberate practice they put in. Practice doesn‘t make it perfect. Perfect practice makes it perfect.
What makes a perfect practice? Top performers actively seek out just-manageable-challenges, setting practice goals that barely exceed their current capabilities. The other half: deep concentration, in mastering a particular skill during the practice, be FULLY PRESENT👍🏽

“The best kind of stress, what we‘d call it just-manageable-challenges, manifest when you take on something that makes you feel a little out of control. When the task handed is a bit beyond your skills, you are in the sweet spot to stretch your limits. For the capabilities you wish to grow, you should regularly seek out just-manageable-challenges that take you out of your comfort zone and force you to push at the point of resistance for growth.”
