Process thinking
open-in-new
<p>Process thinking, also known as "the process", is a <a href="/facts/Philosophy/zAH5PVD6">philosophy</a> that emphasizes preparation and hard work over consideration of outcomes or results, and is particularly popular in professional sports. Practitioners of process thinking focus on the <a href="/facts/Present/k3ke8J3m">present</a> instead of <a href="/facts/Past/egb5NWmA">past</a> events or <a href="/facts/Future/c48DtBvI">future</a> outcomes, and believe that all actions one takes in life, regardless of how trivial they may seem, affect the desired outcome. The philosophy was popularized by <a href="/facts/American_football/TGzJa1nW">American football</a> coach <a href="/facts/Nick_Saban/dttHL8rd">Nick Saban</a>. </p>
