Whatever is going on inside your head has everything to do with how well you end up performing.

I remembered something that Leo-tai had told me, 'Danielsan, one should never look where one does not wish to go.'

'This loss—you must let it go. True champions keep such a loss in perspective,' he said. 'You must look at it long enough to learn from it—but then you must let it go.'

Remember: Especially when things are at their worst, your self-talk must be positive, encouraging, and empowering. Shut down the Internal Critic.

The mental athlete has learned to stay calm and task-focused under pressure.

Decide: What’s your dream? Figure it out. That’s your assignment.

Remember: One must practice in order to become.

Indeed. When you really believe you can win, Danielsan, something extremely powerful is set into motion.

Rest assured it will take courage to achieve your goals and reach your full potential. Get ready to work hard.
