Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 20 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide
Last post by Baggers -isn't that the whole point of saying we can't have it our way all the time?
To keep you fighting when it isn't?
It's a paradox, eh 3 Leos. I get it. But this mindset thing is a slippery customer and humans being what they are, some will see a lapse as 'just the way things are' therefore okay. For context, I get that my missive above might seem idealistic, even unrealistic. And perhaps my military training, especially in the branch I was in where the pass marks were nothing less than 80%, often over 95%, colours my view and expectations. Understand. But I saw how such a mindset benefitted us under duress and pressure. Perfection is unrealistic but sustained excellence isn't.
So... never offer any statement that could confuse or even weaken resolve and expectation. For two hours on the paddock, it is combat, so you'd better have your mind fixed on sustained excellence.
