Mistakes happen. Losses happen. The key is learning without lingering. This episode teaches athletes how to use the past as feedback—not baggage.
Today’s Action Step:
First:
Label it—without emotion.
“Late read.”
“Poor footwork.”
“Bad decision.”
Second:
Adjust one thing.
One cue.
One correction.
Third:
Physically reset.
Exhale.
Clap your hands.
Touch the line.
Turn the page.
Then row.
