The Error Seat | The Quiet Edge

This is Step 1 only. The Next-Play Reset belongs to your athlete. This tool is the seat around it.

First error you actually witness. Stay down. Do not decide what the miss means while the next play is still live.

Notebaert, W., Houtman, F., Van Opstal, F., Gevers, W., Fias, W., & Verguts, T. (2009). Post-error slowing: An orienting account. Ghent. Attention orients to the miss on its own. The reset has to come from inside.

1. What not to say

All five sound like help. All five take their cue and say it from the outside.

Shake it off.
Next play! (from the stands)
Eyes up.
What was that?
Come on, get your head in it.

2. What you say instead

Try one of these. You do not need all three.

Or write yours

3. Three events that matter

First error you actually witness. Wait until the next play ends. Not the game. Not the car. One word. Just for you. Week three is when your pattern shows up, not theirs.

#	Event	What almost came out	What you did

4. After week three
