Mental Models
Self-Competition
> The only person you need to compare yourself against is the person you were yesterday.
Misconceptions:
1. It means ignoring others.
2. It’s soft or self-focused.
Reality: It’s ruthless honesty with yourself.
Wrestling cue: Lap 5 — check your breathing, not your neighbor’s pace.

Shuhari
> Imitate. Break from tradition. Innovate.
Misconceptions:
1. Breaking form = ignoring coaches.
2. Innovation happens early.
Reality: Mastery grows from repetition before invention.
Wrestling cue: Perfect the setup first, then shape it to fit your style.

Spaced Repetition
> Revisit and refine. Growth lives in the return.
Misconceptions:
1. Once learned, always remembered.
2. Repetition = daily grind.
Reality: Skill deepens with time between efforts.
Wrestling cue: Run Spartan Flow every two weeks. Track, recover, repeat.

Reflection cues:
Lap 3: “Am I smoother than last time?”
Lap 5: “Can I stay calm when it hurts?”
Lap 9: “Did I give my best version today?”
A warm body, a hard engine, a quiet mind.
That’s the full cycle — mobility to mastery
