You Can If You Think You Can!
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.

Some of the most successful sports people, especially the ones that participate in individual sports will tell you ..... The skill level differences between the competitors is often so marginal that anyone could win ... BUT the individual that wants it the most and believes that he/she can win is generally the one that does.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what the sport (or business) it all ultimately comes down to a mental game ... if you believe you can you often will!
