Soccer/Football practice was Tuesday and Thursday.
Every Tuesday. Every Thursday.
Was it structured? Yes.
Was it deliberate practice? Yes.
Was it every week? Yes.
Was it messy and imperfect? Absolutely.
And that was exactly the point.
All too often practitioners will seek perfection in their simulations, much like they strive for perfection in gameday readiness (as James Hardy quite rightly calls out).
Weeks, sometimes months of planning, the prepping and handholding of stakeholders, communication on top of communication to ensure everything is just perfect.
But in responding to an emerging threat or an "unknown unknown", there is no perfect. Your team, will most likely not have all the answers.
If you deliver something short, sharp and **highly engaging** on Tuesday and Thursday, lessons will be learned and capability will develop. Do that every week, or even every month, and muscle memory will be forged.
And here's the kicker, the imperfections, the curve balls, the missing team player, the unexpected mid-practice injury, is what drives the critical thinking and problem solving, that drives agility.
So what are you doing this Thursday?
“Don’t seek perfection.
If you think you’ve got perfection, the reality is that the next event that hits you, will hit you from left field.”
James Hardy on why it’s critical to look beyond yesterday’s event to ensure your organization is resilient and equipped to respond accordingly to whatever comes its way.
