If you could watch your funeral and everyone who you ever interacted with was there. Friends, family, coworkers, employees, patients, teammates, opponents, etc., and they all were honest about how you had impacted their lives.
For those of you who don't know my story, I played college tennis, and my sophomore, I went 11-10 at the #4 position. It was a disappointing year.
In my junior year, I moved to the #3 position, so I was playing a higher quality opponent, and I went 18-2. My winning percentage went from just over 50% to 90%.
I was not drastically more talented and had the same size and speed, obviously, but my results were so much better.
What happened?
I improved my focus. I became intensely focused on the now and concerning myself with my performance.
