Process Quality over Outcome Quantity

As Coaches and Athletes we get hung up on Outcome Quantity. How many wins do we have? What is my batting average? How many sacks do I have? What is my FT percentage? How many points did I score? How many home runs have I hit? What is my grade? These are all Quantity Outcomes. Yes they are all good ways to measure success, but they should not be the focus. The most important focus should be on Process Quality.
Are you able to focus on playing as hard as you can play? Is my positioning correct on defense-how can I improve it? Do I feel comfortable and balanced when I shoot the ball? Are you making solid contact when hitting the baseball? Are you sprinting as hard as you can sprint? Are you enjoying what you are doing? How can you improve your stance? Coaches and Athletes that focus on Process Quality will have a more clear mind and will achieve more. Focusing on the Process Quality will allow the Outcome Quantity to Take care of Itself!
