How To Turn Self-Doubt Into Your Superpower - The Mindset of Champions

So watch all your touches when you have the ball, all the decisions you make, good ones and bad. No, we're watching the start of the game to the end of the game. And not like the TV feed. We're watching the in-arena feed, the layup line, the timeouts. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

Rewinding, stopping, fast forward, rewinding, slow motion, every little thing, every game of that season with the 82-year-old Yoda. Oh, my gosh. Who is as brutally honest as you can get. What did that teach you that season? It taught me to look at detail. Look at things that they're smallest. Look at body language. Look at the energy between players, our team and the other team. Right.

Look at the tactics, look at the overall strategy and look at how tactically things are manifesting themselves. And because I watched so much film, then it gave me the ability to see game in real time as if I was watching film. Wow. I can see because a lot of times the game starts moving really fast.

But if you train yourself to watch hours and hours of film, the game's not moving that fast anymore. You can really recognize who's doing what and why you can position guys in the right places in real time.

I mean, Beyonce is the same thing. Really? After a performance, she's immediately on her laptop re-watching the performance. No way. Yes. Seeing how to do things better. What could we have done differently? Right? I mean, it's just an obsessiveness, right? that comes along with it. You want things to be as perfect as they can be.

Understanding that nothing is ever perfect, but the challenge is trying to get them as perfect as they can be. And what can you do? It's in your control. So control what you can. I can watch film all day long. It's going to help me get better. Yes. Yes.

No, you can't push somebody to do that. Right. But what you can do is is alter behavior and also change the vernacular of how they speak about the game. So on team buses, team planes and a locker room after practice, I would look at the film, I'd pull Powell, Lamar, D. Fish, pull them aside and say, let's look at this. We probably should have done this, that, and the other.

Yeah, and then you speak to them in executional terms. It's never, come on, guys, we can do better. Come on, guys, we can do better. That's rah-rah stuff. A leader must give very tactical things that we can do, adjustments. Okay, the defense is doing this, that, and the other. That means we should probably do this, this, this, that, and the other.

By midway through the season, through that behavior, you start seeing them communicating the same way back to you. Right? And it's like, okay, Colb, they're doing this, that, and the other to you. Maybe we should do this and that. Okay, yeah. Awesome. Great.
