Book: The Tao of Sport - https://amzn.to/3JtBt0J
If you’re aspiring for success, dreaming about it and just believing that it’s possible are necessary steps in the process, but it’s easy to be so focused on the future you fail to fully experience and appreciate the present.
We spend so much more time preparing for competition than we do competing. It’s not possible to work so hard for so long to reach the highest level if you don’t love what you do. It’s important, every once in a while, to remember and acknowledge this fact.
anyone who wants to achieve something
- Goal Oriented
- Need to dream about it & visualize success
But too much focus on the future can cause you to miss some of the joy in chasing the dream.
Duff Gibson (Tao of Sport):
“Strive for the top, absolutely. Dream about it. Do what it takes. Work hard on improving mentally and physically, but also realize that by just trying to improve and trying to be the best, you’re experiencing something you’ll look back on with great reverie. Not everyone has the privilege of dedicating themselves to a singular pursuit. Don’t let the fact that only a few ever reach the top interfere with what a wonderful journey it can be.”

518: Is Winning Everything?
Become an Optimal Performing Entrepreneur: www.JeffHeggie.com/GroupCoaching
“As a society, we worship success, and yet it may take more bravery and therefore be more worthy of respect to commit and challenge yourself when you are not, and may never be, the best.” – Duff Gibson
There’s more than wins and losses
You hear the saying, “it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.”
There’s a lot to be said to that.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m definitely not one that says winning isn’t important. Winning is important. But that doesn’t mean that only the winners are successful
How often is an outstanding performance overlooked because it wasn’t a winning performance?
The whole purpose of competition is to determine a winner.
As Vince Lombardi’s quote says, “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” Aside from winning or losing, what did it take to get there and what did it take to perform?
How do you react to winning and losing?
Do you learn from your losses to best prepare for the next time?
Great athletes are motivated by the challenge and progression – not winning so much as trying to win
Bonnie Cruikshank, “You’ve got to look at it relative to you, and the better you can be relative to you, the better you can be relative to the rest of the world. But you can’t be better than the rest of the world if you can’t better yourself.”
- Lillehammer Olympics 1500 4th place finish – best race – personal best over 1 second, American record
Success and personal satisfaction are always relative to expectation, which is based on ability

Book: TAO of SPORT by Duff Gibson - https://amzn.to/3wdYktG
Steve Ovis – former national team competitor & current administrator in skeleton
Steve ran into Duff in a parking lot and said this to him:
“Hey Duff, I heard you’re switching to skeleton. That’s great! With your bobsledding background and driving ability, you’ll pick it up in no time. It’s just a matter of learning how to steer a different kind of sled. I think you’re going to do awesome. You’re going too make the national team! And to qualify for the Olympics all you have to do is finish in the top fourteen at World’s, and next year World’s are going to be held in Calgary, which is your home track. You’re going to the Olympics!”
Duff went on to be a world and Olympic gold medalist.
· Someone that mattered, believed in him
· Affected how Duff saw the sport and his place in it
· Positivity made him stronger
It often takes very little effort to impact someone in a significant way

515: Own It
Become an Optimal Performing Entrepreneur: www.JeffHeggie.com/GroupCoaching
“You are not a failure until you start blaming others for your mistakes.” – John Wooden
Successful people own their mistakes and learn from them.
Successful people focus on what they can control, not on what they can’t. They focus on addressing their own mistakes. They own it.
The focus of any elite performer (sport, business, or anything else) relates to what they learned from the previous event and/or what they’re going to do differently next.

514: Your Beliefs Can Create or Destroy
Become an Optimal Performing Entrepreneur: www.JeffHeggie.com/GroupCoaching
Fear will make you shrink and won’t get you where you want to go.
Be willing to step out of your comfort zone and take a risk if you want a life worth living.
See things as they are, not worse than they are.
Stop telling yourself stories that make things worse.
See things better than they are and then make it the way you see it.
Identify your Limiting Beliefs and change them to Empowering Beliefs
Example:
Limiting Belief: No one will listen to me
Empowering Belief: People want to learn from someone who has been through “it” and gotten a new result. I am that person
Limiting Belief: I can’t sell
Empowering Belief: I’m ethically persuading someone to take action on something that could change their life for the better

513: Everything You Want Is On The Other Side of Success
Become an Optimal Performing Entrepreneur: www.JeffHeggie.com/GroupCoaching
You say that you want change, but nothing can change if you don't do things different.
Doing things different often requires sacrifice.
If you are not willing to sacrifice you time, money, or anything else... How bad do you really want it?

512: Success Comes Through Many Failures Along the Way
Become an Optimal Performing Entrepreneur: www.JeffHeggie.com/GroupCoaching
All major successes come through many little failures along the way.
When things get rough and you don’t know if you’re going to make it, that’s when you get to DECISION TIME.
This is the point where you must take a step back and take another look at your goals and dreams. Why were you pursuing them to begin with?
Decide which goals and dreams are worth fully pursuing at the time.
Which goals are you willing to sacrifice everything for? Is the effort still worth it?
This is a critical turning point.
You’re either going to decide to fight harder than ever before or adjust your plan and walk away from your previous dreams and goals to chase new ones.
Reflect on what got you here (good or bad)?
“If your dreams and goals are still burning inside of you, do not let them go, no matter how impossible it may seem at the moment” – Todd Stottlemyre
Make the DECISION to continue to fight to see your goal accomplished
“The most inspiring success stories come one step after your darkest hour”
