Feeling like you’ll never get past “pretty good” at work, school, sports—or anything in between? You’re not alone. In this podcast episode Jeff shares a backyard lacrosse story that proves why talent, hustle, and even prayer will only take you so far without one game-changing discipline.

Inside this short, high-energy conversation you’ll discover:

• The surprising reason Jeff and his son went from dropping 95 % of their lacrosse catches to snagging nearly every pass

• Why pros in business, athletics, music, and sales all lean on the same habit when the stakes are highest

• The cost of doing “lazy reps” (and how to spot them before they waste your time)

• A simple warning that will save you months of frustration on your path to mastery

• A quick action step you can plug into your day before the episode ends

Whether you’re coaching a kid’s team, scaling a company, or just tired of taking one step forward and two steps back, this episode will light a fire under your practice—and show you how to level up faster than you thought possible.
