Jake shares how losing his football career at TCU after a shoulder injury wrecked his identity, led to years of shame, and ultimately inspired his work helping others avoid fear-based decisions. Jake outlines using objective standards, knowing what world-class looks like, and how choosing a target of 3% ahead of where you currently are helps you focus on controllable inputs and achieve success. He also highlights themes from his books, The Line and Beat Yesterday, to emphasize how pursuing your best through daily process and internal competition leads to consistent growth and personal fulfillment.
