Shitty Best Explained: How Known, Unknown, and Unknowable Variables Shape Performance (part 1)


Meet the work of my friend, with his book, Shitty Best.

Come and get acquainted with Dr. Pavel Somov’s game‑changing ideas from Shitty Best — the logic behind unconditional self‑acceptance and radical compassion for athletes and coaches. Discover why embracing an athlete’s “moment‑specific shitty best” can be your competitive edge.

In Heavy Or Not, episode #108, you’ll learn:

  • How the “shitty best” concept reframes perfection and mistakes in high‑stakes sports.

  • The three categories of performance variables: knowns, unknowns, and unknowables.

  • Why the “I am perfect” mantra is a neuro‑plasticity drill, not fluffy motivation.

  • How to transform film review from a blame‑session into a data‑driven laboratory.

  • The “time‑machine” thought experiment that proves contextual inevitability of every play.
