Next Play
The concept of “next play” is used in sports and focuses on learning
from the previous play, letting it go and focusing attention on the next
play. The premise is that you cannot do anything to change the
previous play so learn from it and move forward with full attention and
focus on what will happen next. The transition from play to play
requires quick refocus in order to be most effective.
Next play is also applicable to general life activities. Once you take an
action, stay focused on what is in the moment and ahead of you, put
your best foot forward, and place your attention on what comes next.
The next play or the next step is all you have control over and your
energy is most productively placed with a forward focus on the next
play.
