Andy Neary advises viewers to adopt an athlete's mindset for business: the visible performance (e.g., pitching in a game) is only a small part of success, while the unseen preparation and repetitions off the field produce the results. He notes that if someone prepares but still fails in performance, it may indicate a skills gap rather than lack of effort.

This is where I want you to start. Even if you have a sports background or you don't, doesn't matter. I want you to start thinking of yourself like an athlete. What do I have to do off the field that's going to make me perform on it? I was playing baseball, standing on the pitcher's mound and throwing strikes and getting ahead of the batters and getting outs. People view that as your job as a pitcher. However, that's only a small fraction of it. It's all the work you're putting in when no one's watching that allows you to show up on the pitcher's mound and throw the strikes and get the outs. That's the natural byproduct. And if you put in all the work off the field yet you can't get your job done on, might just be a lack of skill set. You just aren't talented enough to get the job done.
