The first move: Giving Up
"When something gets hard, they want to quit."
The standard
We finish what we start. Hard is the training, not the reason to stop.
Say this
"We don't quit on a hard moment. One more rep, then we decide together."
When they push
You can be done for today after one more try — not in the middle of quitting.
Your 24-hour plan

- 2Ask for one more rep, not the whole mountain.
- 3Tell the story back — “You wanted to quit, and you finished.”
