Meet the work of my friend, with his book, Shitty Best. Come and get acquainted with Dr. Pavel Somov's game‑changing ideas from Shitty Best — the logic behind unconditional self‑acceptance and radical compassion for athletes and coaches. Discover why embracing an athlete's "moment‑specific shitty best" can be your competitive edge. In Heavy Or Not, episode #108, you'll learn: How the "shitty best" concept reframes perfection and mistakes in high‑stakes sports. The three categories of performance variables: knowns, unknowns, and unknowables. Why the "I am perfect" mantra is a neuro‑plasticity drill, not fluffy motivation. How to transform film review from a blame‑session into a data‑driven laboratory. The "time‑machine" thought experiment that proves contextual inevitability of every play. Buy the book!
