Leadership & Life Balance
How do I keep my standard when nobody is watching?
Rhema Adelaja · National Champion & 4x DUX
In training someone is always checking: your coach, the clock, your teammates. When you study, nobody is. Build an internal standard for those hours that is as high as the one your coach enforces.
The answer
- Notice who holds your standard in training: the coach, the clock, your teammates.
- Notice that nobody holds it when you study alone, in the time between your last assessment and your next one.
- Set the standard yourself, and set it as high as your coach would.
- Hold it without anyone watching. The standard matters more than the planner or the app.
