Your focus
Competing against yourself builds intrinsic competitive drive that sustains across a career. Personal-best competition eliminates the excuse that teammates are faster and builds the self-driven motivation elite players possess.
Player runs a 400-meter loop of the field with stick in hand and ball in pocket, cradling.
Coach records time.
Player attempts to beat their time on the second run.
Third run is the 'all-out PR attempt.' Coach announces remaining time at the 200m mark.
Goal
You're there when you beat your personal best time, even by one second. The clock is honest; chasing it means you're genuinely competing.
Helpful cues
- Your competitor is last week's version of you
- Every time you want to slow down, accelerate instead, that's where growth lives
- The last 100 meters is a choice, not a capability
