But what's the gap between that and that, between where I was in the game and what are the patterns in the gaps? And then if you think about those patterns in the gaps through those lenses of the technical, the thematic, and the psychological. right? We deconstruct it in that way. Then that becomes our game tape, right?

One of the hardest things for mental athletes is to actually have game tape the way basketball players do or foilers do or fighters do, where you can see the actual game tape. We need to create our mental game tape. So this is a way that I, it both enhances the creative process and creates the game tape for the training process.

And then studying the gap analysis we do reveals what we need to focus our deliberate practice on.

It's funny, I wore an Apple watch training a little bit on the ocean and it was good for me because I wanted to like align my intuition on speed with what actually it was showing and it was good to calibrate myself, but man, I took it off. It's so much better being on the ocean without technology. Like being liberated from it, tracking, but yeah.

I think that you can – I mean it's a tool that one can utilize tactically or strategically, right? So it can be like if you're in creative flow, just leaving yourself with a sense of direction. Or it can actually be zooming out and thinking about like what is the highest order question. that I'm grappling with, right? But I think it's like one wants to stretch for the, if one is doing the latter,

the higher order of strategic thinking. It's like, you can think of like one is stretching for the question that matters most with the same kind of intellectual or cognitive intensity that one is experiencing, for example, pushing yourself from like 168 to 176 in cardiovascular interval training, right? Like you're really stretching mentally. So you need to be at your stretch point.

Growth comes at the point of resistance, right? So we – but intellectually, we're not used to really feeling when we're at our stretch point. So we're thinking about a question, but that's a question. What's the higher order question? What's the higher order question? What's the question that really matters?
