I shot the same number the last three times I played golf, and I was annoyed about it. Then I looked at what my golf year actually consists of: twenty minutes of warm-up swings and eighteen holes. No target. No lesson. No range session I didn't play immediately after.

Then I did the uncomfortable math on the rest of my week — the meetings I run, the talks I give, the conversations I keep having — and found the same pattern. Hundreds of reps. Zero practice.

This episode is about the difference, and about why frustration is the wrong response to a system that was never built to produce improvement.

In this episode

  • Why warming up isn't practicing, and why almost nobody notices the difference
  • The reps you already have that aren't making you better
  • Why "try harder" isn't the mechanism
