Chasing outcomes is often a recipe for disappointment.

When you focus on the process, you can find success even if the outcome isn't what you expected.

Do the small things each day & you'll develop better habits that will help you reach your goal in the long run.

In today’s The Herald I speak to Beth Potter on how she builds on her biggest-ever win, pressure, pushing through the hard times and today’s World Series race in Italy heraldscotland.com/news/23551444.…

Follow the 24-hour rule:

Enjoy success or grieve the loss, but within 24 hours, get back to the work.

After a poor performance, getting back to work silences the negative voice in your head.

After a triumphant performance, getting back to work prevents complacency.

According to research, when confidence is high in athletes, they:
-Are able to focus on task at hand
-Express more positive emotions
-Body language changes
-Sense of control increases
-Tend to utilize positive coping strategies

Put people in positions to build confidence

Most of performance is about how we perform on our average days, not about how we perform on our best days.

Raise the floor, not just the ceiling.

To have grown up watching Beth Potter Lynsey Sharp and Eilish McColgan and for them now to have a full set of CWG medals between them is 👌🏼👏🏼🎉
