Sam,
Well done video with some great info. Appreciate it!
Hey Sam, another great video my guy thank you!
It’s important win or lose, we don’t self our own happiness based on the result of a session. However painful it may be haha
"Knowing something in general vs knowing it under pressure" - this reminds me a lot of conscious competence and unconscious competence that Jared Tendler talked about in his books. You talked about how our ability to know things can be affected by things like our mental state. If we find that we are unable to implement things under pressure, should we target improving our mental state during execution, or should we practise this area of skill/knowledge more before needing to execute it again, or both?
I think I recall in the book that Jared said this might indicate that you don't have the knowledge completely nailed down, so you fail to execute in the moment. The solution being further study/revision of the topic/skill you couldn't perform well. But I'm wondering if some instances of poor execution are more due to poor mental state hindering the decision making process? How can we discern which of the 2 factors is limiting us most and therefore which to focus on?
At the end of the video you touched on the idea that if we are trying to talk to ourselves with compassion, we might consider what we would say to a friend struggling with the same issue. Why is it that in general we talk to ourselves in a tone that is harsher than we talk to others? In many other ways humans can be self-interested, yet when it comes to compassion we can dish it out to others but don't leave much for ourselves?
