How Do You Go Faster on a Bicycle?

Pedal harder. Build you leg muscles and increase your stamina.
Wrong.
Watch cyclist Michael Guerra tap into the principles of aerodynamics in catching up on the race.
Just like feathers and wings don’t necessarily cause us to fly, when we understand the principles at play, methods abound.
When we see the methods, take the time to figure out the principle engine that drives the impact.
While the practice of psychotherapy is not about “getting faster” or winning some political race, how do we need to think about deliberate practice in our field? How do we shift our thinking about being good and more about getting better? Pedal harder, build your muscles and increase your stamina? Strength and endurance are necessary to get good. Something else is needed to get better.
Figure out the barriers, and solve the issues laterally, not literally.
