Greg Chappell on Importance of Processes

Recently, CricInfo has published an interview with Greg Chappell which is worth reading.

He has been trying to develop healthy work ethic with Indian Cricket Team.
As a part of that, He is pushing players to follow right processes.

Read this Answer from him:
CricInfo:You've spoken about concentrating on the "processes" and not worrying about the results. What exactly are these processes?

Chappell:I don't want to give too much away from the point of view of exactly what we're thinking about. But basically, if you're worrying about the outcomes, about things you can't control, then you're going to get into trouble. We really focused on the areas that we can control and we're focusing on getting good in those areas. We're making sure that we engender the culture of creating successful habits. That's something we've worked very hard on over the last few months and we saw the benefits during the Sri Lankan series.

Hats off to Chappell.
He is doing us an immense service.
