I'm narrowing in on my wheelhouse and it's an invigorating process! It's that place where you're doing what you know you were created to do. I'll explain what I mean by explaining my choice of terminology.
I'm a basketball guy. So why didn't I say, "I'm working towards a slam dunk," instead of venturing into baseball terminology? Because a "slam dunk" comes across as easy, a sure thing, no sweat. And that couldn't be farther from the truth.
The wheelhouse is that sweet spot for a baseball player at the plate where a home run is nearly guaranteed. It's when a perfect strike right down the middle meets perfect timing from the batter. But even then it's not a sure thing. It requires intense focus and concentration, wiping out all distractions to keep your eye on the ball. It requires all of the parts move in harmony; the coil, the leg kick, step, rotate the hips, swing, make contact, follow through.
Ask a hitter. When you make contact you immediately know it's going out of the park. The perfect pitch combined with intense focus combined with all of your strength. It's powerful. It's game changing. And at that moment, he knows:
That's my wheelhouse. That's when I'm at my best.
How do you find your wheelhouse? Stay tuned...
