MESSAGE #1324 DAY 2 IN TAMPA

Today didn’t go as planned—it was BETTER.

I woke up here in Tampa to heavy rain. It threw my schedule off. I had meetings planned and wanted to go checkout the Yankees game at the Phillies’ stadium in Clearwater. Due to the weather, I needed to rearrange and cancel some meetings. Then, the weather broke and it looked like the game would be played after all. So again I had to change some plans. But I stayed flexible and figured out the best strategy, and the day went extremely well.

What does this have to do with you, and mental toughness?

In sports and life, we need to be flexible. If you go into a game thinking there is only one way to win, you may be greatly disappointed. Instead, there are many options. Obstacles will always pop up, that’s not the problem. The problem is how we react.

I always tell the following to the athletes I work with: “Every strategy works for someone—NO strategy works for everyone.”
