Hint<\/i>: It\u2019s not skill. It\u2019s not training or fitness. It\u2019s not even motivation and how badly they want to win.
\nThe Answer: Recovery time. The speed in which they rebound from setbacks and mistakes.<\/p>\n
Picture a tennis player in the game of her life. She has just hit a weak backhand and she knows it.
\nIn the immediate moments that follow, we see her re-center physically into the \u201cready\u201d position, facing the net squarely, ready for whatever type of ball comes back.<\/p>\n
But an even more important factor is whether she re-centers mentally and gets into the ready mind position in time\u2026<\/b>
\n… because here\u2019s the thing. If half her mind is still upset over her last mistake, by the time the next ball comes she will smash the ball into the net.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t recover fast enough, your small mistakes or setbacks can spiral into bigger ones.
\nChampions know this. They know how to recover fast\u2014mentally.<\/b><\/p>\n
Denis Waitley<\/a>\u00a0tells us: \u201cDon’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.\u201d\u00a0<\/i>It is this solution-focused mindset that speeds recovery time minimizing distraction\u00a0and disruption in dealing with issues at hand. \u00a0Remember the words of\u00a0Alexander Graham Bell<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cConcentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Bring the sun\u2019s rays into focus on your chosen life\u2026 one of being more than you ever dreamed you could be.
