If you keep solving for the wrong thing, you'll keep getting the wrong result. The gap between practice and performance isn't in your mechanics. It's in how you understand the environment you're stepping into.

@DrBhrettMcCabe @Shoneys Skip had a bigger budget than we did at UAB…. #PerDiem

Outcomes will always fluctuate. Your process doesn’t have to. Some days it clicks, some days it doesn’t. If your process changes every time the result does, you’ll never have anything steady to go back to.

@jackdunphy @Shoneys Loved Shoneys but their buffet was a bit over valued

@DrBhrettMcCabe “A solid and unflappable Pre-Shot Routine insulates a player from outside noise and interferences….it is, in essence, your Armor in Battle.” Overheard DICK SPINSLEY say this 1997 at @Shoneys one morning….

Does it get any better? ❤️

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” – E.E. Cummings

Validation feels like confidence until the results stop coming. When everything’s going well, it’s easy to trust it. But the moment things shift, so does how you feel. That’s when you realize it wasn’t built on anything stable to begin with.

Most people aren't actually confident. They feel good when things are going well and fall apart when they're not. That's just being dependent on outcomes and calling it something else.

"Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.” – William Shakespeare

“The principle of moving forward, as though you have the confidence to move forward, eventually gives you confidence when you look back and see what you’ve done.” – Robert Downey, Jr.

You can look composed on the outside and still be completely dependent on the outcome on the inside. That gap is where most people are living.

The athletes who seem unshakeable aren't immune to doubt. They've just been in enough hard situations to know they can get through them.

“Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it.” – Bruce Lee

“The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.” - William Jennings Bryan
