Process

It is so easy in coaching to get caught up in the outcome – The win in the game, a personal best run jump or throw. Sometimes we tend to
forget that the outcome is a result of the process and the process takes time. The devil is in the details
on the daily preparation and the focus in training. I do not mean to imply that
that just by taking care of and focusing on the process that the outcome is
assured. Far from it, the two are linked. You can’t put the cart before the
horse. You cannot expect results in competition (outcomes) without taking care
of the process. To make the process meaningful there must be a goal, the desired
outcome. It is not real complicated but for some reason it is easy to have a disconnect
between the two. Define the desired outcome and refine the process to achieve
the desired goal.
