The higher you climb, the louder the noise.
Success doesn’t just reveal your potential - it reveals other people’s projections.
Jealousy.
Insecurity.
Doubt.
Sometimes dressed as feedback.
Sometimes disguised as support.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
And keep climbing anyway.

Coaches who coach coaches who have never actually been coaches themselves is like...
A chef who teaches cooking classes but has only ever used a microwave.
Or
A music teacher giving lessons on instruments they've only ever seen in pictures.

I recently read that there’s a second half to the Icarus myth...
In addition to telling Icarus not to fly too high, Daedalus also told him not to fly too low.
The water would ruin his wings.
Altitude, as any pilot will tell you, is your friend.
If your engine quits when you’re flying high, you’ve got options for gliding your plane to safety.
But at low altitudes, the possibilities in flight—like the possibilities in life—are more limited.

Things change.
Systems adapt.
Opponents adjust.
Just because something has worked in the past, that doesn’t mean it will continue to work in the future.
Don’t be so enamored by your process that you fail to notice when it needs to be improved.

Played laser tag last weekend for the first time time in I don’t know how many years.
It was a blast.
Pun intended.
Rank #2 out of 25.
Got beat out by dude named Shredder.

Calm breeds clam
Seismic dampers absorb the movement of a building during an earthquake to prevent injury and minimize structural damage.
Dampers diffuse energy to stabilize the building.
The role of a leader is similar—to be a source of consistency, stabilizing the group through the ups and downs of the journey.
A parent’s ability to stabilize the family during adversity helps the children.
A coach’s ability to stabilize the team during a losing streak helps the players.
An executive’s ability to stabilize the company through massive organizational changes helps the employees.
A leader’s response to turbulence sets the tone for the group.
“Calm is contagious.”

"You've been complaining about the same issue for a while now. Either do something or stop talking about it."
I kept complaining but never took action.
My buddy finally called me out.
I laughed because he was right.

"Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing.
Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing.
Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing.
Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

When you hit 90% of your goal, it's time to celebrate.
Why?
It's not about reaching the finish line.
It's about valuing the experience.
