The effort after a bad call reveals more discipline than the argument about it.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Arguing a wrong decision feels like standing up for the truth, and sometimes it is, but it spends the minutes that the next play needs. What you do in the seconds afterward shows whether your composure depends on things being fair. Discipline is not the ability to accept unfairness quietly. It is the ability to keep working while the unfairness sits there uncorrected.

When something goes against you this week, allow yourself one short reaction and then return to the task. Note the grievance for later if it genuinely needs raising. Judge yourself by the next few minutes rather than by the protest.
