1 Quick, Practical Way to Build or Test

Exercise: Victory Reflection Routine

  1. Celebrate: After a win, take a moment to genuinely celebrate your achievement. Acknowledgment fosters motivation and positivity.

  2. Reflect: Spend some quiet time reflecting on what contributed to your success. This could include identifying key preparation steps, moments of strong decision-making, or comprehensive teamwork.

  3. Plan Post-Success: Use your reflection to identify areas for improvement. Success can illuminate your strengths, but also highlights where there is still room for growth.

  4. Normalize Success: Maintain your daily routines—whether that’s training, nutrition, or mental prep—making success a part of your standard processes. Treat wins as fuel to reinforce your habits rather than as reasons to relax.
