Stop reading the scoreboard. Read yourself instead.

Stop checking the standings after every loss. Start checking your reaction to the loss. The Red Sox drop four straight and the headlines scream collapse. The team in that clubhouse? Different conversation. They're not managing the losing streak, they're managing the next at bat. That's it. That's the whole mindset. Here's the mistake most people make: they think composure means not caring. Wrong. It means caring about one thing at a time. You lost today. Fine. What's the next rep look like. Not the season. Not the narrative. The next rep. Small and boring wins. Every single time.
