“The body-brain loop works both ways. Just as physical conditioning shores up the brain’s performance, the reverse can also be true: a mental drain can impact muscular endurance. One study of Italian soccer players showed that doing fatiguing brain teasers before going to the practice field made them commit more errors in controlling and passing the ball. Another study of twenty-one young boxers showed that too much time on phones playing video games affected their speed reactions in the ring.”
Sally Jenkins, The Right Call: What Sports Teach Us About Work and Life

“Jeff Bezos has observed that you don’t try to build a 747 out of your garage. “Unrealistic beliefs on scope—often hidden and undiscussed—kill high standards,â€� Bezos once wrote to Amazon shareholders. “To achieve high standards yourself or as part of a team, you need to form and proactively communicate realistic beliefs about how hard something is going to be.â€�59”
Sally Jenkins, The Right Call: What Sports Teach Us About Work and Life

“There are certain inevitabilities. You will grow older. You will be forced to compromise in ways you never imagined and confront problems you thought you were immune to. You will find a job, and perhaps lose it. You will fight with your mate, shoulder unwanted responsibilities and cope with rank unfairness. You can allow all that to demoralize you. Or you can let it shape youâ€� and trust that the shape will be more interesting because of it.”
