7 Principles to Your Performance ... Reimagined

You know how I’m always encouraging you to try new things and imagine your performance in new ways? Well, I do practice what I teach (most of the time) and this summer I’ve been focusing on distilling my mission and Performance Reimagined’s core principles.

I’ve been taking those life lessons we talk about and zeroing in on what’s at the core of all of them. They work in sports and beyond. And, you know me, I like simple and concise. So here they are:

1. Get to know the human underneath

2. Sometimes roles, always goals

3. Show up, Speak up

4. One size fits ONE

5. Curiosity over judgment

6. Choice is your great superpower

7. Forget everything but at least try

I’ll be sharing more on these over the next few months. But that first one is so simple, we almost forget. And, there’s a reason it’s #1. It’s essential to literally everything.

It starts with you. Know yourself. Honor and celebrate who you are, you fascinating human!

And remember that everyone you’re dealing with - parents, teammates, coaches, trainers - are humans too. Take the time to find out who they are on the human level, what experiences they’ve had, their challenges, the value they bring… all of that. That understanding will elevate your ability to work with them and ultimately, your performance.

Human too,
Lauren

BTW: Getting to know people takes some effort; including you! But it’s definitely effort that pays off (which you already know and practice every day on the field) so, make [added] the investment.
