Perhaps the hardest mental contest to win during performance is executing without thought or consideration of the outcome. Performers who can treat each detail, step, or execution process as a standalone performance without a connection to the end result or outcome are able to achieve the ultimate focus and commitment. Ironically, this increases the odds of better results and outcomes, whereas a focus on those very outcomes diminishes the ability to achieve them.
Outcome independence - this is new to me and I'm certainly intrigued. Where can I read & learn more about this ? I'm aware that sports coaches will say to an athlete when they perform badly, that to forget it as it was a bad shot etc and not to dwell on it - move on and play the next shot, pass etc - is this outcome independence ?

Good morning,
Wow what a wonderful post. Perhaps this was also how St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland (I kidd).
You make solid points regarding the importance of focus. Specifically, the task at hand.
Thank you for this gem.
Now it's time to get to work.
I appreciate you and your time.
