What Went Well

In sports, we always have a blend of "what went well" (success) and adversity. The demonstrated key is "doing more of what works and less of what doesn't."

Barbara Fredrickson discusses positive psychology in this cross-post. Key takeaway: our attitude literally changes our brain, almost as though software changes hardware.

Kevin Eastman is a former Celtics assistant coach who is now LA Clippers VP of Basketball Operations. He says four important words are "shoot, it ain't working." Presuming we deploy good strategy, he says "do it better, do it harder, change personnel, and then change strategy" when we encounter adversity.
