Keys Life Lessons from Greg Louganis

Take failure as a positive

Failures allow you to see where your business needs to be improved, so plan for failure and iterate frequently. Failure becomes a strength when you regard it as a vital component of development. Failure actually doesn’t exist, according to Louganis. “Failures are merely there to aid in your information gathering. None of them are good or terrible.”

Aim for achievement rather than perfection

If your performance falls short of your expectations, don’t worry about being perfect; just concentrate on getting it right the next time. If you strive for perfection, Louganis warns, you might never start because you’ll be too afraid of failing to meet your standards. “Even in diving, a score of 10 is defined as good rather than flawless.”

Stop judging yourself

Peak performance, according to Louganis, is “meditation in motion, where you’re not thinking, just doing.” The only way to do it is to stop judging yourself, says the speaker. Do that by concentrating on the current task. Simply let any judgmental thoughts go if you notice them and return your focus to the activity at hand.

Review your errors afterwards

Decide not to dwell on your errors when you need to recover quickly. According to Louganis, “I had to shove everything away like it never occurred after striking my head in Seoul.” He needed to keep reminding himself that every dive is a new beginning with a blank slate if he was to succeed. Later, a more thorough examination of what happened and why can be done. Understanding what happened, what you did wrong, and learning how to not make that mistake are all steps in the process of getting over something, according to Louganis. When under pressure, postpone that analysis until the demands on you are less pressing.

Put your supporters to work

The people who have the most faith in you can help you regain confidence when you falter. Louganis’ coach stated, “If you can’t trust in yourself, believe in me because I believe in you and we can get through this together,” after the athlete had fallen. He was able to approach his next dive with a clear head by keeping his concentration on his coach’s faith rather than his error.

Louganis asserts, “I am a big believer that you don’t accomplish greatness on your own. There is always someone there to help.
