We tend to think that if we practice long enough, hard enough, the thing we're doing will be easy. But the truth is, things don't get easier, we just get stronger. And the only way to get stronger is to fail. That's right. It is not our successes that help us improve so that the hard things seem easy, it is our failures that propel us to that place. In this episode, Mackey breaks down why the most important lesson we learn from athletics is how to fail.
Key Takeaways:
-Athletics teach us how to fail.
-Things will go wrong in the game of life.
-Things don't get easier, we just get stronger.
