The dangerous part about success isn't the success..
It's what it does to your standard.
- You have a good weekend.
- Square up a few balls.
- Somebody tells you you're one of the best in the conference or tournament.
And without noticing, your training changes.
- The reps get softer.
- You skip the boring stuff.
- You stop chasing the thing that got you here.
Nobody decides to coast.
It just happens.
Your effort quietly drops to match how good you think you are instead of how good you're trying to become.
And you usually can't feel it.
You still think you're working.
You're just not working like you were.
Meanwhile the guy nobody's talking about is still grinding.
Not more talented than you. He just never let a little recognition tell him he could let off the gas.
That's the gap that separates. Not talent. Standards between the two players.
So if things are going well right now, good.
Just don't let it be the reason you start doing less.
