What I learned from a Professional Sports Career
summary
Covers six concrete habits drawn from Olympic handball: pick the team where you are the worst player to normalize high performance; use both instant vs delayed feedback on the field and in private, and practice radical candour when caring enough to confront behavior; run small experiments called trial balloons rather than grand bets; keep two months' runway as contingency money so quitting and deliberate career moves are feasible; and quit when you stop learning rather than linger.
