Olympic Tips to Be the Best You Can Be
summary
Claims concrete and actionable: pick teams so you be the worst player on the best team that will accept you, keep a two‑year development plan, choose one coach and ignore noisy advice, and replace one non‑serving belief each night by logging wins. Tools named: radical candor (Kim Scott), Bob Sutton’s quantified cost of toxic behavior, two‑a‑day practice and active recovery, and coachable feedback on the field versus off the field. Surprising numbers anchor the advice: a 253‑person pool narrowed to 14 and 30‑minute half selection.
