I made a couple of really stupid mistakes today during Paul’s drill. I came into today’s workout exhausted and wasn’t on my mental A game. It showed and I stunk up the drill. There’s no excuse.
You HAVE to learn how to push forward and not make mental mistakes when you’re tired. My high school football coach used to make us do silent jumping jacks. We would start at five and count down. If everyone finished at the same time, we would run sprints in between and then go to four. If someone made a mistake, he would add a jumping jack. One time it grew to 10 — and we were running sprints and other grueling exercises in between. That kind of discipline paid off during the fourth quarter. We had to learn to perform mentally when tired — and we did.
I have too much going on in my life to be making mental mistakes when I am tired. PLS training is more than an exercise program. It’s also training for my brain and my soul.
Today’s mistakes sucked. But mistakes aren’t mistakes if you learn from them.
Now to learn.
