1. | Nothing
beats the experience of being physically powerful, able to physically do the things
you want to do. |
2. | Sports
helps you understand the separation between performance and self-worth. So you
had a bad practice or bad game; you're still a valuable member of this team. |
3. | You
must believe in perfection. It is attainable, even if it's just one perfect shot
in a round of 18 holes of golf. |
4. | Accept
blame for your actions and decisions. Look inward for realistic self-criticism
and congratulations for performance. |
5. | Sports
builds loyalty to teammates and networking skills. |
6. | Repetition
is the key to performance excellence -- in sports and in life. |
7. | "I
will = I can." Always take another step, no matter how tired you are. |
8. | Concentrate!
|
9. | Be
a student of the game. |
10. | Practice
the illusion of confidence. |
11. | Encourage
every girl to find her sport.
