Brailsford thought of everything that is incorporated in a process and how to change for the better. James Clear has a longer version of this quote worth reading from his website. Brailsford said, ‘The whole principle came from the idea that if you broke down everything you could think of that goes into riding a bike, and then improve it by 1 percent, you will get a significant increase when you put them all together.’” – Dave Brailsford “‘The aggregation of marginal gains,’ which was the philosophy of searching for a tiny margin of improvement in everything you do. These three quotes are enhanced by the surrounding background stories and prior points by Clear, but I think they also provide value standing alone. When I read books, I’m looking for a couple quotes of wisdom to take away. “ You are much more than your conscious self.Atomic Habits by James Clear is the most applicable book to coaching and teaching that I have read this year. “ Building habits in the present allows you to do more of what you want in the future.

“ You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results. “ People who don't have their habits handled are often the ones with the least amount of freedom. “ The primary reason the brain remembers the past is to better predict what will work in the future. “ Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game. “ The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. “ In this way, the process of building habits is actually the process of becoming yourself. “ If successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals, then the goal cannot be what differentiates the winners from the losers. “ It is hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying beliefs that led to your past behavior. “ When you fall in love with the process rather than the end product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. “ Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress. “ All big things come from small beginnings. “ Professionals stick to the schedule Amateurs let life get in the way. “ Learning one new idea won’t make you a genius, but a commitment to lifelong learning can be transformative. “ I know that if things were going to improve, I was the one responsible for making it happen. “ Habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold and unlock a new level of performance. “ What matters is whether your habits are putting you on the path toward success. “ Be the designer of your world and not merely the consumer of it. “ It is only when looking back two, five, or perhaps ten years that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones become strikingly apparent. “ A habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly and, in many cases, automatically. “ When we repeat 1 percent errors, day after day, by replicating poor decisions, duplicating tiny mistakes, and rationalizing little excuses, our small choices compound into toxic results. “ Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. “ What starts as a small win or a minor setback accumulates into something much more. “ A slight change in your daily habits can guide your life to a very different destination. “ Success is the product of daily habits not once-in-a-lifetime transformations. “ In the long run, the quality of our lives often depends on the quality of our habits.

“ If you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you're done.
