This is wonderful. We never ever do it "all alone". This is one of my favorite quotes - so I love that you open with it: “Under duress, we don’t rise to our expectations. We fall to our level of training.”
- Bruce Lee, quoting Archilochus
A book I loved in this topic was Stillpower by Garret Kramer. I have not read it in YEARS, but it dives deep into the inner source of athletic excellence (which of course could be extrapolated to any performance or life in general).
I've added Stillpower to my to-read list! Thanks for the recommendation. I enjoyed the Inner Game of Tennis by Tim Galloway even though I do not play tennis myself.
I love how singing to yourself is a way of releasing your inner critic, it sounds fun! I appreciated your reflections on self, listening to yourself and what is essential, too.

Oh I read that one years ago when I played tennis in my teens. Now I want to reread Stillpoint.

Thanks, Heather! I've actually found the inner critic work to be quite playful and fun.
I’m so impressed!
This was so wonderful Lisa! Love following along on the journey with you. Sounds like you are an amazing coach as well!
