Coach Pete Carroll is trying a little something new this offseason, creating a profile on the social media outlet, LinkedIn. He recently published his first post, which begins – “A thought for your Monday” – on July 1.
“We all want to bring our best whenever we’re called on to perform,” Carroll began. “Top performance is based on great preparation and our ability to ‘focus’ so we can bring our best… Our ability to maximize our focus is crucial to bringing our top performance… For this reason, developing the discipline to maximize our focus is one of our greatest challenges… This begins by disciplining ourselves to only focus on what we can control. This is a moment-to-moment, step-by-step, one-day-at-a-time discipline and commitment…”
Carroll is now followed by 8096 Linkedin users, which is sure to increase incrementally once the word is out Seattle’s coach is now using the site as a blog, of sorts.
“So today, try to only focus on what you can control,” Carroll continued. “From the big things to the little things, only focus on what you can control. When you commit to only focus on what you can control, your level of performance can only rise! Happy Monday!
“Your turn: What’s something in your life that you want to aim to only focus on what you can control?”
