How to develop a mindset for peak performance | Marc Cormier | TEDxUKY · TEDx Talks
探讨如何建立巅峰表现的心态，适合练习目标设定与心理调节。
If I ask you to think about a successful athlete or a performer,
如果我让你想象一位成功的运动员或表演者……
who or what comes to mind?
首先想到的是谁或是什么？
A Hall of Fame athlete, perhaps a champion, a business mogul, or an award -winning teacher.
一位入选名人堂的运动员，或许是一位冠军；一位商业大亨，又或许是一位屡获殊荣的教师。
It's easy to think of success and imagine lifting a trophy, getting a medal around your neck,
人们很容易想到成功的情景，想象着自己举起奖杯、脖子上挂着奖牌的那一刻。
getting a plaque on the wall.
在墙上挂一块奖牌。
We're actually wired to think that way because those things are exciting,
我们天生就倾向于以这种方式思考，因为那些事情确实很令人兴奋。
they're flashy, and then they often make the headlines.
它们外表华丽、引人注目，因此经常成为新闻的头条。
As a society, this is often the perspective that we use.
作为一个社会整体，这往往是我们所采用的视角。
We think of a performance like an Olympic final, a job interview,
我们将一场表演视作一场奥运决赛或一场求职面试。
a business proposal, as just that, a performance, an opportunity to do something great,
一份商业提案（仅此而已）；一场演出；一个实现伟大目标的机会……
to achieve peak performance, to hit the shot you're supposed to be able to hit,
为了达到最佳性能状态，为了能够成功完成那些本应能够完成的动作（或射击等任务），
to run the race at the speed you're supposed to be able to reach.
以你本应能够达到的速度去完成比赛。
But what if I told you that those big moments are actually due to small, seemingly insignificant
但要是我告诉你，那些重要的时刻其实都是由一些微小、看似微不足道的事件所引发的呢？
factors, not the flashy that we automatically think about?
那些真正重要的因素，而不是那些我们自然而然会想到的、外表华丽（或引人注目）的东西？
What if I told you that those are the true key pieces to success?
如果我告诉你，这些才是通往成功的真正关键因素，你会怎么想？
Because the truth is, if you talk to any elite level performer, whether it's an athlete or a non -athlete,
因为事实是，如果你与任何处于精英水平的表演者交谈——无论是运动员还是非运动员——
they'll probably tell you that any big performance is nothing more than an event made up of hundreds,
他们很可能会告诉你：任何一场盛大的演出其实都不过是由数百个人共同参与的一场活动罢了。
thousands of tiny little pieces meticulously placed together to create something bold and beautiful.
成千上万块微小的碎片被精心地拼接在一起，最终造就了一件既大胆又美丽的作品。
It's that it's the end result of everything that's come before it, the good,
因为这是之前所有事情（包括那些美好的事情）共同作用的结果。
the bad, and everything in between.
所有不好的事情，以及介于这些好与坏之间的各种情况。
So that's what we're here to do today, we're here to talk a little bit about success,
所以，今天我们在这里就是要讨论这个话题——关于成功。
how we define it, and possibly even challenge that traditional view of what it is.
我们如何定义它，甚至有可能对那种关于它的传统观点提出质疑。
Because before we can help performers achieve peak performance and succeed, it's important for us to help them define what success means to them.
因为在帮助表演者发挥出最佳水平并取得成功之前，我们首先需要帮助他们明确“成功”对他们来说意味着什么。
I have the pleasure of working as a performance psychology specialist.
我很荣幸能够担任绩效心理学方面的专家，并从事相关工作。
My job focuses on helping elite performers, athletes, and non -athletes achieve peak performance by helping them harness that mental acuity.
我的工作重点是帮助那些表现出色的精英人士、运动员以及非运动员们发挥出他们的最佳水平，具体方法是帮助他们提升自身的心理敏锐度（即思维的清晰度和判断力）。
Surgeons, athletes, musicians, corporate leaders, and even performance artists.
外科医生、运动员、音乐家、企业领导者，甚至是表演艺术家们……
So if I were to ask everyone in the room here to think about a moment or think about an event that you commonly participate in.
那么，如果我请大家想一想某个特定的时刻，或者某个你们经常参与的活动，会怎么样呢？
Now this could obviously be a sport, but it could also be parenting,
这显然可以被视为一种运动，但同时也可能是一种育儿方式。
teaching, giving a recorded lecture on a well -known platform to potentially thousands of people.
教学工作就是在一个知名的平台上录制讲座内容，并将这些讲座视频传播给成千上万的人。
And think about that event and consider what does success mean for you.
仔细想想那次经历，思考一下成功对你来说意味着什么。
Because when we talk about helping those performers, we sometimes help them build mental skills,
因为当我们谈论帮助那些表演者时，我们有时也在帮助他们培养心理素质（即帮助他们提高应对压力、挑战等的能力）。
and that a lot goes into that.
其中涉及的因素非常多。
That is a very big spectrum, a wide spectrum.
这是一个非常广泛的范畴，涵盖了大量的内容。
But in addition to those things, we can also help people on earth and overcome various mental blocks.
但除了这些方面之外，我们还可以帮助地球上的人们，帮助他们克服各种心理障碍（或：情绪上的困扰）。
So to you, think about what success means in the activities that you normally engage in.
那么，请思考一下：在你平时参与的各项活动中，成功究竟意味着什么。
And so the teacher in me is really trying to resist the urge to ask all of you to share your ideas,
因此，我内心作为一名教师的那一部分，真的很想克制住那种想要让大家分享自己想法的冲动。
to see if we can come up with some form of cohesive definition of what it means to be successful.
看看我们能否提出一个较为连贯、统一的定义，来阐明“成功”究竟意味着什么。
And so time permitting, we would obviously do that.
如果时间允许的话，我们当然会这么做。
But I suspect if we were to do this, we would probably have some similarities amongst our responses,
但我怀疑，如果我们真的这么做的话，我们的回答之间可能会有一些相似之处。
with maybe some subtle differences.
也许会有一些细微的差别。
