Field Notes

You can't control the win — only your game

/ Coach Leighroy

The challenge with being a founder is that how you think you will win is generally not how you win.

You can’t control the win. You can only control your game.

Athletes already know this

Elite athletes don’t fixate on the scoreboard they can’t control. They pour everything into the game they can — their preparation, their decisions, their patterns under pressure. The outcome follows from the game, not the other way around.

Founders tend to do the opposite. They chase the win directly, build their identity around it, and lose sight of the only thing actually in their hands: how they play.

Be an athlete, not a founder.
