Most battles, whether in sport or business, are won or lost before the events take place. Developing a strong competitive mentality and the mind of a champion takes time and experience. It takes years of repetition and learning, years of gaining knowledge and wisdom, often through reflection after the disappointment of losing. Each improvement in the discipline and control of your thoughts under pressure adds to the creation of a champion’s mind. Star performers have a competitive desire for success that becomes instinctive.
The key to a winning mindset in all competition is the discipline to control excess emotion, to stay in the present and remained focused on the job. If things are going well and you let your mind drift, focus on the task is lost.
