Many athletes fail because they are big babies

Before you accuse me of being harsh, let me explain.

Most athletes have a program in their minds about what's supposed to happen
in a competition -- and when things don't go their way, they get very
upset.

They are so busy feeling sorry for themselves, they lose their concentration.

I learned this from a surprising source: a very rich professional gambler.

I'm talking about the kind of guy who needs mental toughness because he lives in Clairemont and routinely bets R60,000 a hand in blackjack.

The Gambler says:

"I am often surprised at how easily people get upset. They get upset if they don't hit the jackpot.

When they hit a secondary jackpot, they get upset that they didn't hit the top jackpot. And when they hit the top jackpot, unless it's something in the millions, they get upset about why they didn't hit it sooner."

According to The Gambler, successful gamblers make their money by out-waiting the casino. If they lose a spin in roulette, they double their bet.

If they lose a second time, they increase their bet. If they lose a third time, they bet even more.

They know that statistically, it's impossible to lose every spin. Eventually, their numbers are going to hit.

So they wait...and beat the odds.

Gamblers who posses this level of patience are the best of the best.*

Patience Leads To Concentration Champions are a lot like great gamblers.

They use the mental toughness weapon of PATIENCE. They use it to create
superior concentration, even when the competition is falling apart around them.

They don't expect to win every point or smoke their opponent by a mile. They don't pity themselves when they make a mistake...they don't worry about not getting to a shot....and they don't constantly obsess over fluctuations in their game.
