Podcast Lesson
"Prioritize repeatability over perfection in execution Simon Lazat, a professional disc golfer, explains how top players choose shots not for maximum performance but for maximum consistency. He says the goal is to figure out "what is the most repeatable way to get to our target," favoring a hyzer with an overstable disc because "the room for error is very big — you can be slightly off angle and miss your shot a bit, but the result will be almost the exact same." Anyone making high-stakes decisions — from surgeons to engineers to athletes — can apply this: design your process around the widest error tolerance, not the theoretically perfect outcome.
