157: Float like a butterfly..... world-class basics

I think and what I have learnt over the years is what people say and what people do can often be very very different. When it comes to high performance, goal setting or just doing something better than others, sometimes you don’t want to share how you’re doing it or you might not realise just how good you are. Are you curious enough about your performance? So here’s the thing, I’ve been thinking about world-class basics, how do people live to deliver them, and what type of people optimise them. Knowing that you have a talent comes through allowing others to see it, you have to share it, even the slightest hint that you think you might have a talent. Once you have shared your talent perhaps with someone you trust, you’d do best to try and understand how you make it simple, simple enough to you, understand the parts, train all the parts, be curious how to maximise the parts. Do the smallest parts, the basics to a world-class standard. I was listening to a recording of Muhammad Ali this week when he shared his most memorable quote “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. What he said at that moment made what he did in the ring invisible to his opponents. He carried out world-class basics.
