Coach Tony talks about a concept in basketball. It’s called “Next Play Speed.”
Next Play Speed is the time it takes a player to shift his attention to the next move in the game after the last one has ended — regardless of its outcome. Michael Jordan’s Next Play Speed was less than a second. He’d score, run back to defend, steal the inbound pass, lose the ball, then run down the opponent.
In life, your Next Play Speed is the time it takes you to re-focus on the next, smallest, most relevant action you can take.
The faster you can do that after you complete something or get rattled, the better. Improving your Next Play Speed will also make you happier because it leaves no time to worry about the big picture. You’ll just take the next step.
