If you want to become the best version of yourself, it's probably a good idea to figure out what that might look like before you begin. Why's that, you ask? If I want to become a better athlete, that's all well and good. Hell, it sounds like a pretty noble goal on the surface. But without defining what it means to be a better athlete, how do I know if I achieve my goal? How do I even know if I'm heading in the right direction? Becoming a "better athlete" is too ambiguous, and is subject to an extremely high rate of failure or abandonment because you'll have no idea what the hell you're working towards or whether or not you're succeeding or failing. Does being a "better athlete" mean that I can run faster/jump higher/lift heavier weights at the gym? Does it mean all of those things?! If so, I can think of no other way to fail at something than to try to do everything at the same time.
