How the best of the best get better and better

By George Babu on June 13, 2008 in Thought Leadership

HBR has a great article this month on how the best get better. Graham Jones, the author, made a cool observation as a sport psychologist to Olympians and other champion athletes:

Compete only with yourself, demand relentless feedback, and don’t forget to celebrate.

He also noted how many of them had an “insatiable appetite for feedback” and “a particularly strong need for instant, in the moment feedback.”

I especially liked his last piece of advice…party like a champion when you succeed!!! I think I’ll take the rest of the day off and celebrate!
