Hi, Performers and Achievers. Welcome to Performers and Achievers Daily with me, Romanish Guerilla. In today's episode, I'm talking about an exciting time of the year. March Madness is your team still playing. Now, what's interesting to me about March Madness, it's just something, and I coach when I coach my customers on this, train them, is to just have something to look forward to every day. Something to look forward to every day. And usually that's in the evening time. In the evening time. So obviously, on Thursday and Friday of this past week, I was looking forward to watching the games. Saturday, Sunday, looking forward to watching the games. And then, of course, this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, looking forward to watching the games. So, of course, March Madness is not throughout the year. They do play during the regular season, and then they have a break from their sport. However, it's their mental approach, their mental preparation, how they go about looking and viewing what opportunity they have in front of them. And me as a mental performance coach, as a basketball player, basketball official, the thing that I like to see the most or watch is are the coaches, the players, the fans. Do they respect and honor basketball and have sportsmanship or sportswomanship? Here's why this is important. As you know, one of the areas or issues or problems that I help my customers with is a negative environment and culture communication leadership caused by specific persons or person, and most times that comes down to you have respect and honor whatever it is that you're doing. In this specific case, it's basketball. So do you have respect and honor basketball? Then do you have sportsmanship? That is with your teammates, and then of course with the opponents. This is the coaches, the players, the fans, because that's what creates the right environment, culture, communication, leadership by the people involved or the people who participate. And why is this important to you? Because whatever it is, and you can use my concept of the adaptability link, or if you want to call it a tool, my adaptability link tool, or your adaptability link concept, or your adaptability link, is that just as you like watching and you like to watch what I just mentioned, or at least I do, do you have that kind of approach in whatever it is that you're doing? And even if you're not a basketball player, don't you know you maybe played when you were in middle school or high school, maybe not, maybe in college, maybe not, maybe semi-pro, maybe not, maybe professionally, maybe not. The point is, is can you take that same approach that you're watching when these teams are playing? And can you use your adaptability link towards what it is you're doing? Right, most people who are watching are probably not a basketball coach or a basketball player, however, they are basketball fans, and they probably professionally do something besides coach or play basketball as a profession. And so as I watch this, this is what creates progress. This is what makes one team play their best versus another team playing their best to determine who's the eventual champion. And usually as I watch the coaches have their strategic game plans. Players collaborate with the coaches, they prepare, they practice, they train, they're coached, and they play. And this other supporters or fans there, and it just creates this amazing few weeks in March called March Madness. As you're watching, and as you're watching, can you just appreciate like some of the commentators who are analyzing the game and many of the teams I haven't really watched this year, so they know a little something about them, and then you look at also the other aspects, the what brought them to basketball, how they decide or choose to go and play basketball where they did, then what are the relationships that they built or were built, and what are the benefits of that, which is far beyond basketball. So here's another point whatever it is that you're doing or being there is that by progressing and you progress by putting together your success checklist and you prepare. And so obviously, at any level, it's now they're prepared. They've been working, playing throughout the season, they know all their sets, their plays, how to collaborate with each other, teamwork, how to talk to one another, etc. Build each other up, help and support each other. And so now it is a matter of the right mental preparation, mental strategies, mental skills, the right mindset to make progress with slight adjustments. These aren't big, huge adjustments, they're slight adjustments. And that's what to me is most interesting about basketball is watching how they make these slight adjustments. Another thing that's exciting is that many of these coaches and players are and the fans in attendance, of course, and all the fans watching it's like you're a participant in the tournament without being there, and that's fun, really, because although I'm not there and my team's not in it anymore, it almost seems like feels like I'm there at each game, and I don't know if many of you experience this, which is what I call my the zone or my the zone, the zone effect, you know, see slow motion, it's like times a non-factor. Start looking at the game with a new lens, and you progress just like you do in anything, professionally or non-professionally, because the lens you're looking at it now has progressed, so maybe you were looking at it with a lens that's a little blurry. Now, as you progress, you're watching with a lens that's a little more clear. Now, as you progress, it's a little more clear, and as you progress, it's a little more clear, and you progress, it's a little more clear, and as you progress, and it just keeps getting more clear, and that's the way I watch it because I've watched basketball sports most of my life, and especially now after having played basketball, made friends playing basketball, played basketball with friends, made friends playing basketball, uh pursuing basketball, and then as an official, now I also have a lens that I didn't have before, and so to me that's exciting because I'm able to see the different aspects of it where I've progressed, and as I do, it makes my watching March Madness that much more entertaining, fun, exciting. It's as if I'm experiencing being there without physically really being there. I don't know about you. Maybe you can relate to this, find your adaptability link to this. However, what did it start with? It started with respect and honoring whatever it is that you do. And sportsmanship or sportswomanship. It's just basically having manners and communication that is appropriate. You have those things or characteristics and whatever it is that you're participating in, and you have a good environment, culture, communication, leadership by the participants.
