If you are a competitor, you want results. In fact, you may be obsessed with outcomes, and you are definitely graded and measured by metrics at the end of the day. Whether it is the outcome of a shot or the result of a game, measurements help to define your success. Because of this, it is easy to become obsessed with outcomes and let them dominate your mind during any kind of performance. When you do this, you are focusing on the wrong thing, and it will ultimately lead you to pressing and trying to control the outcome versus influencing and impacting the outcome.

Fortunately, there is a better way to achieve the outcome that you desperately desire. In working with many elite professional and amateur athletes across all sports, we have found that focusing on the process is essential to achieving the outcomes that you want. We call it being "Outcome-Driven and Process-Focused." In today's episode of Monday Morning Moments, I share more about this principle and how it can help you maximize your potential and achieve your goals in sports as well as in business and life.
