Topics
Paul Assaiante: 在面对挑战和困境时,与其逃避,不如直面最坏的结果。通过思考最坏的结果,我们可以降低焦虑,理性地看待问题,并找到应对策略。'奔向咆哮'的理念正是如此,它鼓励我们直面恐惧,挑战自我,最终发现问题并没有想象中那么可怕。在人生的旅程中,我们需要不断地适应变化,及时调整策略,才能在竞争中获胜。情绪是我们的敌人,它会影响我们的判断力,妨碍我们做出必要的调整。成功的关键不在于设定目标,而在于克服阻碍我们实现潜力的恐惧。真正的成功在于拥有满足感,能够平静地看待自己所取得的成就,并继续努力。失败在于盲目追逐目标,而非忠于自我。练习是成功的关键,通过练习我们可以从失败中学习,并提升自己的能力。在练习中,我们要注重过程,享受过程,而不是仅仅关注结果。要学会从失败中吸取教训,并不断改进自己。要学会管理情绪,延长思考与行动之间的时间间隔,避免冲动。要学会从失败中学习,并培养自己的韧性。要学会与他人建立良好的关系,并分享彼此的经验。 Shane Parrish: 与Paul Assaiante教练的对话中,我学习到克服恐惧和焦虑的关键在于直面挑战,而不是逃避。成功的关键不在于设定目标,而在于克服阻碍我们实现潜力的恐惧。在面对挑战时,要学会及时调整策略,适应变化。要学会管理情绪,避免情绪影响我们的判断力。要学会从失败中学习,并培养自己的韧性。要关注过程而非结果,才能取得持续的进步。要学会与他人建立良好的关系,并分享彼此的经验。

Shownotes Transcript

When Paul Assaiante announced his retirement from coaching the men's squash team at Trinity College in Connecticut earlier this year, it marked the end of the most successful run for any coach in the history of college athletics.

During his tenure, Assaiante guided Trinity to 17 national titles, including 13 consecutive championships and 252 wins in a row from 1999 to 2011.

On this episode of The Knowledge Project, Assaiante draws on his 30 years of coaching to discuss the lessons he learned during his career. These lessons include how to conquer fear and anxiety, why safety is actually found when facing adversity, the importance of practice, and what's keeping you from reaching your goals.

Assaiante is also the author of the 2012 book, Run to the Roar: Coaching to Overcome Fear. Listen and learn.
