In today’s world of sports, too many athletes obsess about results when they perform. But the reality is that focusing on the process brings good results. It’s great to set high goals for yourself in sports. However, when in competition, you must focus on the process.
When you focus on the process, your mind is in the present moment – the here and now. When you have a present focus you can perform your best by reacting to your surroundings. Thinking about the last play, shot, or pitch, does not help you focus on the current play. And thinking too far ahead distracts you from what’s happening in the present.
