MENTAL
TOUGHNESS
Many Claim To Have It, Yet Few Can Define It.
It Is Not Something That All Are Born With,
And Few Can Be Taught To Attain It. But
It's The Base Of What We Yearn For--Success.
Talking The Game Doesn't Cut It. Could
have been, Whine About The Lack Of It, Winners Don't Have To Tell
Anyone They Have It. It Shows In The Passion Of Their Eyes.
The Sport Isn't Just A Game Of Skills, It Is
A Way Of Life--A Constant Challenge To Become The Best, And These
Guidelines Change Day To Day, Because Mental Toughness Is Playing
Against The Game Itself, Not A Certain Opponent.
It Doesn't Matter How Good Anyone Else Is,
Only How Good You Can Be Day In And Day Out. The Mind Can
Overcome Any Obstacle To Achieve A True Desire. You Have Seen
Them; The Ones That Make It Look Easy, Their Mind Has This Power.
It's Through Hours Of Staying When Everyone Else Went Home.
It's Watching Their Heroes And Imagining Them Doing The Same
Thing. It's Believing In The Mind That No One Is Better.
Mental Toughness Is Thinking Before You
Perform, Yet Not Knowing You Even Thought
Before The Task Was Done. It's
Leading When No One Else Has The Courage To Lead, And It Is
Sacrificing Your Body, Giving Your Heart, And Working Beyond The
Requirements.
Discipline, Repetition, Constant Learning, And Believing In Your Teammates Can You Give The Gift Of Mental Toughness. Skills Come By Fairly Easily, But Only The True Athletes Posses The Definition Of Success--MENTAL TOUGHNESS!!!
