Steps Toward Personal Excellence

All Of Us Can Be Excellent

EXCELLENCE IS ACTUALLY MUNDANE

Excellence is accomplished through deliberate actions, ordinary in themselves, performed consistently and carefully, made into habits, compounded together, added up over time. Since it is mundane, it is within reach of everyone, all the time.
So this is your challenge:
· Through deliberate actions (the things players do in training)
· Ordinary in themselves (everyone is doing them, there are no real secrets)
· Performed consistently (done on a regular basis)
· And carefully (with high standards and consummate focus)
· Made into habits (coached into your technical, tactical, psychological and physical fabric)
· Compounded together (with an understanding of harnessing all the elements)
· Added up over time (done when appropriate on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis)
