Do not run from fear—understand it. Fear can be a weapon or a chain. When you face it and use it wisely, it sharpens your mind, keeps you aware, and pushes you to grow. But when you let it control you, it blinds you, limits you, and locks you in place. The choice is always

Chris Petersen's advice for aspiring coaches:
If you’re a coach, don’t just study the game. Learn how to lead.
You can possess tactical knowledge and be great at skill development, but if you can't lead people then your impact will be diminished.

Did You Know?
Most goal pursuit, and thus most persistence, in daily life is episodic rather than continuous. People do not start and finish goals in one uninterrupted episode. They pursue goals across many episodes and often over long periods of time. Some goals require episodic pursuit by design (e.g., “meditate daily,” “eat vegetarian on Mondays”). Other goals require episodic pursuit because they are maintenance goals that require regular attention (e.g., “keep the lawn looking nice”) or because they are abstract and involve the regulation of behavior across domains and time, and may be pursued dynamically by a wide variety of potential means (e.g., “be healthy”).
