Message #80 - Focus on the win, not the opponent
Visualize the VICTORY not the PRESSURE you feel...</SPAN>
You have to completely embrace the idea that with all accomplishment there is PRESSURE. In fact the greater the accomplishment...the greater the pressure...I agree with Billie Jean King, perhaps the greatest female tennis player ever, that "Pressure is a Privilege".
I'll take it a step further. "PRESSURE IS THE PRIVILEGE OF CHAMPIONS". If you really want to be a champion...start accepting the pressure that comes as a privilege.."a sort of right of passage".
Typically when you feel pressure it's because you're thinking about an opponent. Think about it for a moment....The more you think about your opponent the more you feel the pressure.
The opponent doesn't matter really. If you really want the victory you're going to have to beat everybody anyway.
When I competed I didn't think about my opponents too much...What I did however is spend a lot of time thinking about how I was going to win.

- I wish I could install this in to my wrestling team. Thats all we do is think about who we are wrestling not how were going to wrestle.Posted 12-23-2008 at 01:31 PM by CY1CLONE
- it really needs a right way of thinking. once you settle down on the right way then else is straight. focusing on your victory is necessary but not so easy to get.
