Understanding Awareness Through Signal Lights

Awareness is crucial for performance in various aspects of life, as illustrated by the analogy of traffic signal lights. A green light signifies being in control, a yellow light indicates a lack of control, and a red light represents a complete loss of control. Recognizing these signals, similar to assessing conditions while driving, helps individuals make informed decisions based on their current situation. This skill is essential not only for athletes but also for performers in diverse fields such as parenting, teaching, and executive roles.
