Description

In this episode of Today Matters, Coach Steve Pinkston challenges the perfection mindset that holds so many athletes back. Learn why chasing perfection kills progress — and how focusing on the process, not the product, helps you grow stronger, freer, and more confident in both sport and life. This is your reminder that mastery takes time, mistakes are part of the mission, and the best athletes aren’t perfect — they’re persistent.

Today’s Action Step: 

• Redefine success.
• Build a process routine.
• Reflect daily.
