So much "value" lies latent in increasing our attention back over to what we "already know," and shifting our intention out of the "getting more" attainment zone of external grasping and over to the "going deeper" attunement zone of inner alignment.
One of my favorite ways of thinking about various approaches to skill development is to look through the frames of Dabbler, Obsessive, Hacker, and Mastery.
Much in line with your piece, the path of Mastery requires ongoing reflection and engagements with "the basics" (such as Steph's shooting drills) to widen and strengthen the foundations upon which greater growth ultimately depends. The Mastery path is not only marked by focused intention and attention, but also by appreciating that while it may be less exciting and dynamic, the compounding power of time, effort, and focus is inestimable.
I appreciate your contribution here in shifting our gaze up to value that winning the long game is a key ingredient for staying meaningfully involved in playing the infinite game.
I appreciate the kind words. And especially thanks for the 1% IRR on skill development!
These are important 1st principles to revert to. Dabbler is the one that pulls the most - everything is served in 15 second increments. Mastery - just trying to keep practicing and getting a little better.
