Wrestling Mindset (www.wrestlingmindset.com), developed by Gene and Jeff Zannetti, recently shared their “7 Cardinal Sins of Mindset in Wrestling”. Since I believe wrestling has countless life-lessons to offer, I want to share these here as a brief series. The sixth of these is:
Perfectionism. According to Wrestling Mindset, perfectionism is “the ultimate double edge sword.”
Strive to be perfect in all things, but cut yourself some slack. I have shared the quote many times, but, as Coach Vince Lombardi taught his players, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”
We must have a growth mindset. We must accept that we are not perfect, but always aspire for nothing less.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow!
Carpe momento!
