One of the things that definitely felt very original when I was reading about your philosophy

is this idea of figuring about the results because thinking about the results or the outcome

of your performance can reduce the chances of success in that performance.

That's very unusual because in teams, in competition and business, we think about the result,

we think about closing the deal or what that will mean and we kind of imagine ourselves

in that moment of getting the medal around our neck or that business deal one.

Why is that not a good idea?

Well, if an event happens or something happens, the first thing that's going to happen to you

without you even knowing is you're going to have an unconscious emotional reaction to it

and it's emotion.

It's not thinking it through, it's just purely emotion and that's going to be either

it's a fight-flight freeze response really.

But that emotional response will happen quicker than you know it before you can go and get

any logic or get any rationale into it.

And of course in any kind of situation like what could be perceived as a threat state

where you're putting yourself in some kind of threatening scenario, it's a damage-mapride

or what happens to people, they start thinking, well what happens if a win?

What happens if a lose?

What happens if a ridiculous?

I don't want to look ridiculous.

I'm under threat and that then becomes very easily to get emotionally hijacked by that.

So then you're purely running on emotion which is inconsistent, it's illogical.
