Winner's edge

Hello and welcome everyone...sixth in a series of eight in answering your questions. "Why is the mental so critical in training
and competing?" Let me answer this way...picture a bicycle, the
front wheel is the mental part. The front wheel get's you to where you want to go. The back wheel is the physical, that's what drives
you. Most people are on a unicycle. The unicycle will get you going in circles. Winners will profess that the mental part of their
game is more important than the physical. On any stage, any level
of competition, the "mental edge" is the winning edge. The EYES
show who is mentally ready to compete at a winning level. By
looking into one's eyes, you can tell who is ready and who is not.
Mentally tough people are very hard to beat. Physically, at any
given age or level of competition men and women are close to being
equal. The mental separates. You develop mental toughness in all
of your workouts long before the event. The mental will get you
there...:"first to the finish line." Mental fitness must be a part of
your every day life...not limited to training and competing. You
can't turn it on and shut it off when you feel like it. You either
have IT or you don't.

Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O
