We're going to be right back after this quick break.
And we are back.
When a Globetrotter makes a mistake...
they can have it be overlooked because of how they playfully embrace its direction.
They recognize that something went wrong,
But they actually welcome the unfamiliarity that comes with that new position.
Yeah, I appreciate that observation.
I think my experiences with being playful have also relieved the weight of pressure in a lot of ways.
I think that's one of the beauties of play is like if you take things too seriously and
I feel like that's when you get into moments where you're almost in your own way because the pressure that you put on yourself is becoming an additional obstacle to what you're already trying to master.
So I feel like dunk contests are the perfect analogy for this because in dunk contests, you do have more than one attempt to complete the dunk, but...
Most of the time, if you're not on that day, if you're not capable of doing that dunk, you could try it nine times.
It's not going to make a difference.
So really, you know, like achieving the dunk happens in the work before the actual contest.
And so I think that has taught me that like,
play and keeping a certain level of like openness has allowed me to not put a ton of pressure on myself.
I am definitely hard on myself, but I am not as hard as I used to be on myself because I know that I am somebody that does not do well under,
any added pressure internally.
I certainly still do feel pressure, but not as much as I used to because
I know that as long as I remain open and playful, I can kind of pivot in different ways.
