Be Where Your Feet Are

Alan Stein, a leadership and basketball performance coach who’s worked with players like Kevin Durant and Steph Curry, did a TED talk several years ago on something I need to be better at–time and attention.

In the video, he explains how learning to be where your feet are can help you become more present, productive, and successful.

“Your habits are in fact a choice. You choose your habits and your habits are what dictate your happiness and your success."

His beginning, about what he learned from watching a private workout by Kobe Bryant, is great.

I recognize when someone is present and focused. I admire it in other people. In practice, for myself, I’m terrible at it. Take 10 minutes to watch. I need to watch it about ten more times a day.
