#183 Paul Assaiante: Learning to Face Your Fears
The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish
Practice and Competition
✨Key takeaways:
- Focus on consistent practice, especially when no one is watching.
- Embrace practicing your weaknesses to improve overall performance.
- Compete by leveraging your strengths.
Find relevance in every practice session, even mundane Wednesday afternoons. Dedicate yourself fully to practicing your weaknesses, even if it makes you look bad in front of your peers. Example: An NBA coach emphasizes the challenge of getting players to practice their weak points due to their reluctance to appear unskilled before others. In competitions, concentrate on your strengths. Example: In doubles tennis, a skilled coach can strategically position players to minimize the exposure of their weaknesses.
