It's The Best I Can Do

This guy would often reply "It's the best I can do, I've given it my best". It made me reflect on a conversation for The Mojo Sessions with Dr Jeff Spencer a high-performance coach who works with the likes of Tiger Woods, U2, Nike, a host of Tour de France champions and even Richard Branson. Jeff said when we think we have given our best we are actually creating a perceived limit by saying we think we know what our best is. Quite often it's not your best, it's what you're willing to do, not what you are capable of. Our language matters. Many high-performance coaches will say that we don't really know our own potential and fall short often by giving what we believe is our best, but in actual fact we are probably sitting at 40%, or at the most 50%, of our true capacity.  Language sets limits. Don't set limits on yourself by seeing or believing in what is your best. This is particularly important with our children, which is why we should praise and commend the process with kids not the outcome.
