feeding natural observed outside parents principal question together ultimately vision
The natural question is, does she own this vision, or is it something that has been put together from outside herself? Having observed her, I really have the sense that she's the principal architect. Yes, her parents are feeding it, but ultimately it's something you can't fake. It has to be something you own, or the whole thing fizzles out.
athletes beginning biggest complex developing emotions equal females fierce focused found future genetic happen happening issue males men missed opportunity question rather skills start top tough whereas women work
I think the biggest issue is that men historically have had opportunities to start developing competitive skills at a very young age, whereas most women didn't. So a lot of women athletes missed out on the opportunity to work out all those complex emotions that happen in fierce competition. Rather than genetic differences, I've found that the real differences go away when males and females have equal competitive experiences beginning at a young age. That's happening more in our culture, and no question the top women athletes of the future are going to be just as tough and focused as the top men.

Boundary setting is really a huge part of time management.

It's not how many hours you put in with a client or on a project. It's the quantity and quality of your energy - your focus and force - that determine whether that time is valuable.
achieving athletes attention builds call causes changes changing cover dynamics expectation harder ideal level natural occurs particular people perception pressure receives somehow superstars supposed time whenever
I'd call this a natural consequence of the changing dynamics of expectation. Being on the cover changes the way people see themselves, and they have to metabolize a different set of conditions. They're supposed to be superstars now, and if they don't live up to that, they've somehow failed. This changing perception causes many athletes to feel pressure and have a much harder time achieving their ideal performance. The Jinx isn't just a cover phenomenon. It occurs whenever an athlete receives a particular level of attention that builds expectation.

time
Time only has value when it intersects with energy.
entering people
When people are entering a high-stress period, they don't sleep and don't exercise, but in fact, it should be just the opposite.
