Step 3 in the cycle of excellence is practice, or work. This is where typically parents, teachers, coaches jump in. Work harder. But if you've paid attention to steps 1 and 2, connect and play, then the child will naturally want to practice. They will want to suffer the pain to gain the gain. They'll want to go to the weight roomto workout to get better at football. They'll want to practice their piano in order to become a better pianist. They'll want to get up at 4:15 in the morning and go skating to become a better skater. They'll want to do it because it is emerging out of connection and play. So rather than saying, work harder, practice, you lead a child into wanting to do it and then you get the 100% buy-in. And that lasts a lifetime as opposed to saying, I can't wait to get out of school so I don't have to do this stupid stuff anymore. Practice will happen naturally if a child goes through steps 1 and 2 properly. And yes, indeed, without work there is no gain. There is no excellence. It's very important. The best way to get buy-in, to get practice, to get work, is not by simply demanding it. It's by paying attention to steps 1 and 2, connect and play.
