Win or lose

This weekend I competed at a local sports tournament.

I won about as many matches as I lost. Some players lost all their matches, others won them all.

Sure, everyone felt great when they won and disappointed when they lost.

But every single player at that tournament had this in common:

Win or lose, they went back and re-watched their videos to learn more about what they did right and what they did wrong.

At least, I hope they did.

Because that's where the real win happens: in long-term improvement.

Here’s the thing:

Hitting your goals is nice. But analyzing and improving your systems will position you for continually improving your results.

That's the long-term value of setting goals, whether you win in the short term or not.

All the best,
A.
