Realism, Competition And The Success Failure Syndrome

Speaking from a beautiful spot in the Peak District, Rob discusses his thoughts on competition, in regards to success and failure, rest, relief of stress and defining what success is in your life. At what point should realism take over from constant positivity and how can we deal with the negative affects of failure and the confusing nature of success? KEY TAKEAWAYSRob draws from Ryan Holidays' philosophy of stoicism to demonstrate the brutal reality of life, and how constant positivity can become forced and tiring. Being ultra positive can be a negative.Things will take much longer to achieve than you originally think. If you look back at your own life, and consult those who have achieved what they aimed for, you will find it came with unforeseen struggles and tenacity. This constant ‘snakes and ladders' journey can end in exhaustion and disillusionment. Competition, especially in this modern world of social media, can grind your team down. Support them with good rest periods and rewards to avoid burnout. Have faith and belief in your people. Your support is invaluable and result in you living beyond the success/failure syndrome.BEST MOMENTS ‘Sometimes its just one thing that resonates with you, that changes the whole perspective. It's often just one piece of a jigsaw that we're missing.'‘Your prize for solving a big problem is another one of greater magnitude. Now lets put that into perspective.'‘Let's understand that life is tough, life is hard, life is challenging and there are things that are going to go differently than we think and perceive.' ‘You have to believe in people, and that means living beyond the success failure syndrome. Let's make sure we are not like this, bearing in mind that at the top level, at the elite level, there is success and failure.' VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast    ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.
