ALL OF US DESIRE TO PLAY ON A SUCCESSFUL TEAM. NOTHING CAN SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT GOAL. NEITHER CAN ANYONE GUARANTEE VICTORY. WE MUST TURN OUR ATTENTION TO DOING THOSE THINGS THAT WILL GIVE US THE BEST CHANCE OF REACHING OUR FULL POTENTIAL.

AN INDIVIDUAL ATHLETE MUST FOCUS THEIR CONCENTRATION ON THE THINGS THEY HAVE CONTROL OVER; THE THINGS THAT WILL RESULT IN THEM MAKING THEIR BEST CONTRIBUTION. THE ATHLETE MUST REALIZE THAT EACH POINT, EACH PLAY, EACH ASSIGNMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE ATHLETE WELCOMES THE CHALLENGE AND BELIEVES THEIR MAXIMUM EFFORT WILL BE EQUAL TO THE CHALLENGE. A TEAM PLAYING LIKE THIS WILL BE TOUGH TO BEAT. IT REQUIRES GREAT PHYSICIAL CONDITION AND MENTAL DISCIPLINE IN PRACTICE TO DEVELOP THIS TYPE OF APPROACH TO PLAYING.
