Successful people have two things that differentiate them:
1. They've learned how to embrace and deal with failure from an early age
2. They have a broad set of mental models that allow them to see and approach problems from a different angle

When Allyson Felix decided to start a family in 2018, Nike offered a contract that was 70% less & had no guarantees if her performance declined due to pregnancy.
So she left Nike, signed a deal with Athleta, has a 2-year-old daughter & just won her 10th Olympic medal.
Legend 🙏

People need to understand that:
• It's Okay to fail,
• It's Okay to make mistakes,
• It's Okay to admit that you are wrong.
• It's Okay to not have an opinion about something
• It's Okay to say "I don't know"

Performance team in sports includes everyone involved in the process,the general manager to the bus driver.Everything is performance driven,that’s why you need the whole team to be successful.There is no room for„more important“,everyone is important to bring the puzzle together.
