Bill Belichick & Ray Dalio on Identifying and Addressing Mistakes: Part 1

·Nov 8, 2024

Bill, what you do? You have a game Sunday, and you come and you look at the videos, and you look at the mistakes made, and you analyze the mistakes made and how to get better, right?

Yes, we do an assessment after every game. We do an assessment after each period in the year, so free agency, the offseason program, the draft, mini camps, things like that. Um, the idea is really to look at what we did well and what caused that, what we didn't do well and what caused that, what decisions were critical decisions, and you know how those turned out.

Was there a flaw in the process or maybe a process that helped us make the right decision depending on how it went? Um, what were the critical errors? What caused the critical errors in the game? A critical penalty, a critical mental error, or a critical communication breakdown, whatever it was.

Um, and we do that whether we lose or win; it doesn't matter. Like, the evaluation is the evaluation. Um, what we would do differently, you know, if we face this opponent again or an opponent with a similar type of personnel or a similar scheme.

How we... and so just a full evaluation of everything that happened, with the idea of, you know, making that better and not having the same thing next week. On that sheet, you know, not saying the same thing was the same mistake we made last week; the same mistake we made last week—this is another communication mistake.

And try to eliminate those and, you know, continue to correct things and recognize what we did well. Why did we win? What did we do well to win?

Alright, let's make sure that we continue to emphasize and do that because that's the reason why we won. Um, so it's not just eliminating mistakes; it's also trying to build into your strengths. You know, it's really pretty basic of, you know, any war or any counter: you know, use your strengths and don't let your weaknesses, you know, bring you down.

So, play to your strengths and protect your weaknesses.
