Re: Tom Brady

If you missed it – there was an article in the Washington Post a few days ago about Tom Brady – arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks to play professional football.
In this article there is a trailing comment that really jumped out at me – reminding me of the why the basics are so important.

  • “Maybe the hardest thing about it is that the daily reward is so small — it’s about incremental improvements over time. Brady’s throwing coach Tom House has observed, “What separates these elite athletes, the Hall of Famers, is that they try to get better every day not by 20 percent but just 1 or 2 percent.”

Trying to improve by just 1 or 2 percent.


Every day.

For decades.

How many of you can commit to this level of self-discipline?

I haven’t met that level of discipline – that’s for sure.

But that doesn’t mean any of us should stop trying.

In fact – let’s wrap up the year by focusing on a few habit any of can work on over the coming weeks.

At this time of the year I like to look back at what worked, and didn’t work, and try to use the experience to expand and improve heading into 2022.

Through my own business I can see the habits that have helped over the years, and yes, even a few that I can still improve on.
