 You just turn the ball over. It's okay. Next play. You just miss the wide open layup. It's okay. Next play. Yes, I know the referee missed a call. It happens occasionally in basketball. Next play. As a performance coach, why would I want my players focused on the next play? It's the only one they can do anything about. They can't do anything about the turnover, the missed layup, or the referee's inability to blow the whistle. That is now in the rearview mirror. And any time and energy or emotional currency they put in the rearview mirror, something that is now behind them that is unchangeable, means they're not investing that presence in the moment, which means they're not able to perform at their highest level. Anytime we make a mistake, we need to immediately acknowledge it, hold ourselves fully accountable, apologize or make amends if necessary depending on the mistake, and then we need to flush it. We need to move on to the next play.
