Sean Glaze explains why looking forward with reminders and encouragement works better than looking back to blame. The 'next play' mindset focuses on what you can actually control: the actions you take right now.
And if you're given a rearview criticism, it's because you're looking at something that happened and you're looking backwards in the rearview mirror. Hey, why didn't you do that thing that now you can't have any impact on? Hey, why did you do that thing that now you can't go back and change? Instead of rearview criticisms, the best leaders, the best teammates will instead think next play. What's about to happen? Can I take the initiative to think about how I can impact what's about to happen? And so next play is going to lead you to share reminders and encouragements. Next play is going to get you to start thinking about how can I take initiative to say or do something beforehand so that I impact something that is upcoming.
