Episode 115: Are You Going to Regress, Tread Water, or Emerge Stronger

This is still a time of uncertainty, but within it lays an opportunity for many, likely including you!   The question is whether you are going to seize the opportunity, or simply treat the situation more like an earthquake and hide under a desk until it passes.

Many, even most, are going to stagnate in these times and dream of a return to normal.  This is normal.  The brave and smart will convert the challenge to grow and evolve -- as the true performance-minded won’t be seeking to survive this, but thrive.  The performance-minded won’t lean into resilience to navigate, but will use the stress and challenge of the last few weeks as a kick up the behind to innovate, evolve, and emerge stronger.

Adversity creates opportunity, but we can only do this if we seize the chance.

Are you regressing, treading water, or are you EMERGING?

Matt explores three different athletes in this week’s episode and their current approach. What are they doing right? How can they improve and drive towards better performance?

Yes, we must continue with empathy, but not to a detriment.  We cannot allow empathy to descend into self-pity and apathy.  We now have a chance to get back up and move forward, seeking ways to emerge stronger.
