DEINCENTIVIZING SUCCESS

• In the Olympics, we’ve seen some deincetivsing of success.
• We aren’t letting the best be the best anymore.
• We’ve seen this with Simone Biles.
  • Her scores have been lowered simply because she does so much more than anyone else.
• If people work hard and overachieve, REWARD them for that.
• We shouldn’t lower the best 
• However, we should be more comfortable talking about mental health and moving through negative experiences.
• Simone Biles also has stated she did this for her own physical safety (as the twisties are very dangerous) and for the betterment of her team (so that they can succeed if she feels she will play badly).
• Djokovic behaved horribly. 
  • In quitting, he robbed his teammate of a change for a bronze medal.
  • At that level (and really any level in athletics), throwing temper tantrums is unacceptable.
