Devo by Quis:
“It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.”
Muhammad Ali (not Ghandi as I said this am…. 😂)
Legendary UCLA coach John Wooden would start by teaching freshmen how to put on their socks correctly before getting into dribbling, passing, shooting, defense, or rebounding.
This is because if a player gets a blister from bad socks, they will miss valuable practice time on the other things.
Small fundamentals are important. But we can get distracted like that small pebble in your shoe, something small that can distract or discourage us from the larger goal. These can be a wide variety of things. I know I’ve encountered plenty in the last 10 years.
In baseball, coaches talk about the most important play being “the next play” regardless of what has happened in the past.
Focus on those small fundamentals, remove those small distractions and keep moving onto the next steps.
