A few year back I played a golf video game with my son.
It wasn’t your usual golf – it was a side-scrolling one where you had to hit the ball around rocks, lava, and other obstacles to get it into the hole within a certain number of shots.
There were two factors to keep in mind:
1) Where you aimed your ball (the angle)
2) And the power you put into your swing …
After your shot, you took the lessons you learned to improve for the next shot.
So if you aimed too low and hit a jagged cliff that bounced your ball into a fire pit, you tried aiming your shot a little higher next time.
Didn’t give it enough oomph to clear an obstacle? You knew you needed to hold down longer to give your shot more power the next time.
This game was a perfect example of “Kaizen” in action.
Kaizen is the process of continual improvement.
It usually applies to the business side of things, improving all aspects of a business from the top leadership down to the assembly line.
It’s about learning from mistakes and incorporating new information to keep improving your system.
But it’s also applicable for coaches.
They need to consistently apply lessons to improve their processes, but its not always easy to do it as a solopreneur …
