HOW TO REACH FOR SUCCESS IS IN MY 2ND HOW TO BOOK!

You MUST FOCUS only on what really matters while you're in the Zone!

    My second HOW TO book is for the athletes that read my first book, The Path to Excellence, and want to continue on the path to SUCCESS. My small book can help you knockout your opponent when going after your first or multiple championships!  Success will happen more often when you're consistently able to get to the Zone. Admitting that you don't know everything, is really the first step towards SUCCESS. Rule changes, technology and equipment is a never-ending progression in some sports and athletes need to adapt changes into their own game or be left behind. Your mind-set will be tested with any change that can affect your performance. Then you can start to learn to realize what you'll need to work on with persistence and dedication being required. It is your mental game that will greatly advance your overall game. YOU MUST KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!

      If your current road has potholes, I'll tell you how to proceed so most can be avoided. No one ever said, SUCCESS was going to be easy!

   _____

You should be able to grab rewards by these 12 steps on your trip to SUCCESS. 

     Rewards come when you climb another level or two. Some of these 12 steps, you might already know about. You'll determine how these steps will factor into your game and will give you an indication of your potential. You'll need to know their importance to reach SUCCESS and continue your SUCCESS. Being a mentally tough athlete have advantages. At any time if you finally decide you would rather be winning than losing matches, I offer my books to help you. Losing sucks and will happen, so get over it and start a new win streak. Learning not just from wins and losses but learning why it happened and seeing more positive results are why Champions rise to the top of the leaderboard and win more Championships

      I'm offering a change in course for your future. With your Commitment to Excellence,

you should experience better results on your road to SUCCESS!

   _____

Show the "kids" that you can get better with age?

     I'm here to tell you that I've improved with age because of the experiences from competing against better athletes when I was younger. To be the best, you have to beat the best. I've never turned pro because the money wasn't there to get me too excited, and I'd have to put in too much time and practice. I had the time but the money for equipment and practice was just more than I could afford. But I have learned several things since competing in four professional regional tournaments.

      No one said getting older will limit the SUCCESS you might have. Prove them wrong!

   _____

I dedicated my book to two that tackled today's thinking!

     For my second book, I felt that two athletes who have influenced me in ways that no other have done would be appropriate. Both have displayed why the mental game is so important to compete. Ken Hosp and Andrew Cain have experiences that some only dream about. Is it by accident that they can both play the left side of the lane? It’s about they both love our great sport, and their expectations after what they have already accomplished are still at a high level.

     I’ve bowled with Ken one season in the Traveling Masters and against him many times over. He has many records and titles doing it from both sides of the lane. He is Tucson’s Jack Nicklaus on the lanes, having a love to compete attitude. Perfection was achieved when our “Mr. 900”, shot a 900 during color pins at the old Cactus Bowl. Ken’s dedication to Excellence is second to only a few.

     After seeing around four bowling coaches, Andrew saw me throw just three shots and knew HOW TO fix my consistency. He helped raise my level of confidence like no other coach has done. It was like buying confidence in a bottle. I went to him because he still competes on tour and to compete and cash on today’s tour would be beneficial for my game. The traveling of 120 miles was the right choice.

      The common factor with these two, is the confidence they have in their ability and they both have had SUCCESSFUL careers!

   _____

Message me with questions and to buy my $10 book. Thanks

       I'll be happy to answer questions you may have after reading my HOW TO book, The Path to Excellence. You've should have been competing in the zone after reading my first HOW TO book. My second HOW TO book tells you the route to continue your journey, so you'll be more FOCUSED on being SUCCESSFUL in your sport. You can't focus on being succesful to have SUCCESS. Succcess is another journey that happens to several athltees who are willing to put in some work to make it happen. Success isn't what you THINK it is, it's what other athletes declare you have! Success isn't for one performance or even how you competed in one season. SUCCESS can only happen over mutiple seasons and will include several titles! Getting close to the top is only one thing. The other thing is staying near the top during your career. Staying near the top of your sport is the best way to take that last step to the top of the mountain, like you will read in my 2nd HOW TO book. When you understand principles of peak performance, you can embrace every situation because of your experience and knowledge. Knowledge is king and performing with almost no pressure is something you should learn from this book.

See you in the Zone! -Mr. Stats

Message me, Alan Brizee  Path to Excellence  w/ Q's

Any one of the 345 factors in my first HOW TO book, could determine WHO WINS!

Just some facts on a few factors

By Alan Brizee ©2020 Rev. 2024 Author of The Path to Excellence and

      From Excellence to Success

      There are 345 ways to influence outcomes of competition. They are part of the mental game's "Fun"da"mental"s that are both my HOW TO books. Because it's part of being SUCCESSFUL, Iv'e included it on my 2nd HOW TO book's webpage.

      My first book, The Path to Excellence, shows why you should know them, as some of these factors will decide why you went on to win or came up a little short. Outside influences can make competing and seeing positive results more difficult. Some of the outside influences can be devastating to a few athletes. Several athletes seem to focus on things beyond their control. The score before the match is over, isn’t always an indicator of who should win. Comebacks of athletes and teams happen all the time. How the match started may not be how it gets finished. How you handle certain situations will play a huge part in your overall success in your sport. When I decided to show how factors will determine winners and started a list, there was no way I thought it would be more than 200. But 345? Some of the factors may never happen because some are just minor occurrences but knowing them is still knowledge, so that you can make correct decisions should they occur and not repeat negative results. 

     Why do champions keep winning? Could it be that they are mentally stronger than others they compete against? Could it be that their knowledge of how they compete, keeps them out of trouble and keeps the pressure on their opponents? Could it be they have been there before, and they KNOW HOW TO WIN? Could it be that pressure doesn’t faze them? A lot of could it be’s, but remember that its not their first rodeo. For some of you, champions are different. They won before and enjoy competing. WAIT a minute! Just because you haven’t won doesn’t mean you can’t start now. Just because you’re in a match against any champion, they are also a competitor. Just because conditions favor some champions, doesn’t mean you’ll let up. Just because you came and tried to conquer after several attempts, doesn’t mean it’s their time again! The second you treat them like a champion, the less likely you are to get a win against them! Champions tend to add pressure if you don’t have a good mental game. Make it easy on yourself. Treat all competitors including champions like they’re blocking the way to the finish line, so that every match will have equal weight to it. Almost any competitor will have a great day in their career and now you’re in their way to a bigger payday. Treating everyone equally, will keep you more focused on what you must do to win. It’s about keeping it simple as possible. Simplicity in an athlete’s game will make it easier for any change, to be more competitive. The thrill of competing in sports is just under the thrill of winning a tournament!

     Knowing how the 345 factors are why some underdogs win, can you compete with more confidence because of your awareness of what can transpire in a match. Being mentally competent, has many advantages in sports. Reading anything that discusses the mental game can get you knowledge and help you make correct adjustments. There are a few that think they know everything. Some sports have rule changes, and some have technical advances that can benefit many athletes. Any change must be acknowledged to move forward, and athletes need to determine how to take advantage of these changes. But after all that is said and done, it won’t always be the best athlete winning everything. The best gets older and more chances for minor injuries that impact results. Don’t judge others by the way they act. Some will try to get sympathy, so you’ll take it easier on them. Others will try “trash talking” or ask questions about your game. They want to get you thinking about anything other than you focusing on your next shot! With all my information in my books and on my huge HOW TO website, you’ll be ready for them. After reading my book, you’ll be better prepared to get down to business and show who you really are. After all, my book takes you on a journey to the ZONE, building on what you have done in the past, so more positive results happen in the future and get you close to your goals!

     These 40 factors, listed in alphabetical order and not by their importance, of the 345

listed, are the most common when competing and will determine winners in most

matches:

         1. Ability (What are you able to do?) Able to make correct adjustments, able to

                  change plan of attack, able to repeat great shots and able to focus on

                  what matters.

         2. Adjustments (What worked in the past.) Most adjustments are minor and not a

                  complete overhaul of your game. Some adjustments maybe out of your

                  comfort zone, so practicing them is critical to expanding your comfort zone

                  while still being in a relaxed state to repeat great shots. Depending on your

                  sport, there are usually a couple of ways to adjust and you must decide your

                  best option. Practicing new adjustments a few times will help make it feel

                  natural in competition. One last note is for thinking outside the box and making

                  it work for you. As athletes get older, most will stay in their comfort zone instead

                  of experimenting to become a more rounded athlete. 

         3. Attitude (Should be positive when you wake up the day you compete.) How you

                  start the morning can determine your results later in the day! Athletes who are

                  somewhat negative at times may realize too late that what they could have

                  done to get back into the match, that their decisions at times were not their

                  best options. Keeping positive helps keep you mentally sharp and greatly

                  reduce the pressure you’ll feel in a match while having fun competing. Less

                  pressure and better results, what a concept! 

         4. Awareness (How the crowd, the fans, your teammates, the conditions you compete

                 on can be less than ideal.) How you manage what’s unfolding in the match will

                 give you the experience to solve problems that can occur. Some problems will

                 be out of your control, and you MUST BE SMARTER than what you dealing with!

                 Getting upset is never the answer. Knowing how to deal with minor problems are

                 why champions keep winning more championships. 

         5. Challenges (Stepping up your game if you’re serious about competing against

                 better athletes, is why you enter tournaments or compete in leagues that are 

                 more challenging.) I admit that as you get closer to being a senior, your main

                 reason to compete is BECAUSE YOU CAN and you’re having fun doing it. 

                 Challenges that help athletes gauge where their game is against better

                 athletes, will show them where their game needs work, so wins could come

                 more frequently. 

         6. Character (Showing others, the real you!) How you compete matters. How you

                 handle situations by the comments and jesters you make along with your body

                 language, will show your opponents who you really are and try to psyche you out

                 during the match. Showing respect for others doesn’t mean you’re an easy

                 target. Celebrating too early could make you regret it later, after you just lost a

                 close match. What you say to opponents may fuel them in defeating you. 

                 Bragging about what happened in the past is now history and you must keep

                 your focus for what is happening right now! Trying to psyche your opponent out

                 can backfire if they have a good mental game. Go out there and play the best

                 game you can so others know it’s not a practice session. Let your ability and

                 your equipment do the talking for you, not your mouth.

          7. Choking (Shows you’re human and a valuable learning experience.) Nobody is

                 going to win ALL THE TIME! Accept the results so you can focus on the present.

                 All champions at one time chocked and moved on to bigger and better things.

                 Chocking shows you were not quite ready for the situation. You also can’t take

                 chocking as a sign of things to come, because it’s a situational incident. Most

                 athletes who have chocked is because their mental game still needs work. How

                 you think and what you think about in MUST HAVE moments can cause you to

                 choke. You shouldn’t get carried away when you do choke, just learn from it as

                 to why it happened and give your MUST HAVE situation your full attention to 

                 create a better result than the last time. Chocking could lead to you having a

                 slump and having more problems. Reading my book should eliminate choking

                 as you’ll know the MUST HAVE consequences are like any other moment in 

                 the match.

         8. Comfort zone (Something that should be expanded.) Your comfort zone is great if

                 it’s working when you’re competing. But you’ll not always be in your comfort zone

                 every minute during competition. Expanding your comfort zone is why you

                 practice, so you’ll feel natural when it must happen during any match. This is

                 why pro athletes make insane money as they seem to do things that amateurs

                 have trouble with. All athletes should be able to open a new world by practice

                 and building better experiences for positive results.

         9. Concentration (It’s a must, so you don’t rust!) Most sports need concentration for

                 just 3 to 5 seconds at a time. This short period of time has kept many athletes

                 from reaching their goals. Since your smart enough to want to improve by

                 reading this article, you’re smart enough to work on improving your game. This is

                 about putting in 100% on your next shot. It’s also about doing what it takes to win!

        10. Conditions (Some conditions can seem easy, while others may be a torture test.)

                 Even if they are easy, you still have to execute and you need to keep your foot on

                 the gas and not let up. Momentum can swing due to conditions, and you need to

                 keep the pressure on your opponent. Most conditions at the start of the match

                 will be different at the end of the match. Adjustments will need to be made, and

                 your knowledge of transitions that will occur and making correct adjustments,

                 will give you a better chance of winning the match. The same condition at

                 different events may vary slightly and it’s how much you adjust that impact

                 results.

         11. Confidence (This is what champions have the most of.) Confidence come from

                doing the right things at the right time, so winning is easier and cane be

                 repeated! It’s about knowing what adjustments will work at the right time to keep

                 control of matches you’re involved in. It’s also about how you think and making

                 sure you’re not having negative thoughts. It starts with having fun and a positive

                 attitude! It’s about going after a win that would mean the world to you. It starts

                 with your pre-shot routine so you can continue repeating great shots in your

                 quest to win the match. You can’t buy it in a bottle, and it won’t happen

                 overnight. Time can conquer everything and over time, confidence can too!

         12. Consistency (Another trait of champions!) Keeping routines the same will help

                 when events happen that you must travel to. Your sleep pattern is just one

                 routine, and sleep is needed to compete so you can make better decisions

                 when required. Getting to events early so practice isn’t rushed, and you check

                 out your equipment is another routine. Your pre-shot, post-shot and post-match

                 evaluations will be constantly happening and are necessary to gain knowledge

                 for future events. Trying to get in some practice between any event should also

                 be consistent. How you practice and what you practice on will help you

                 consistently throw better shots. 

          13. Determination (How bad do you want it?) Some matches are determined by who

                 wants it more. Determination to achieve certain goals will require that four letter

                 word, work. The work you put in now can be more valuable in the future than you

                 thought possible. No one said sports was easy. Sports for some is like taking a

                 break from life. Sports can add stress to an already busy schedule because of

                 the time involved. Your determination to improve your results will depend on your

                 mental game. Your determination to reach your goals should seem closer when

                 you plan on how you can make it happen. Determination is a form of persistence

                 as you seek positive events in the future.

          14. Distractions (There are even more now!) Ring, ring. I’m sorry, my phone just went

                 off. Buzz, buzz, someone just texted. Before cell phones, there were a few

                 distractions that could occur. The crowd, your opponents, a referee’s bad call,

                 the PA system, players from other teams and employees for the event, can 

                 distract even the best athletes. Focusing can cure most distractions so the

                 negative side isn’t as bad. Trash talking will happen more now as some will think

                 it helps them win matches, but you’re better than that!

          15. Enthusiasm (Part fun and part attitude.) The joy of winning when you’re having fun

                 because of your positive attitude, should reward you many times over. Being

                 enthusiastic will take most pressure off you when competing and help you make

                 more correct adjustments. And don’t forget to smile after winning the event!

          16. Equipment (Take care of it, so it takes care of you.) Clean your equipment when it

                 needs it, and check it for defects every month before you leave for competition.

                 It’s too late once you arrive at the event and you don’t need to find out that fixing

                 the problem would have been better at the hotel or at home. The shoes and

                 braces you wear and to compete may need to be replaced or cleaned for a

                 better performance. If you use tape, you should check and order more before

                 you use it all.   

           17. Expectations (May not always be what you expected!) There are different

                 expectations. The result of the match, the conditions you compete on, the way

                 your opponent competes, the result of your last shot and the crowd reaction. 

                 When expectations don’t produce positive results, decisions on how to continue

                 must happen. Athletes with a good mental game can change, so seeing better 

                 results will happen as you experience more competitions.  

           18. Experience (Many wins happen because of what has happened before.)

                 Experience and knowledge know each other very well. They are almost bonded

                 together. Both will help show you ways to be more efficient at shooting higher

                 scores or getting more points. Experience will tell you what you did in the past to

                 see positive results and knowledge will replay what you did correct to take

                 advantage of the situation. Some of your experiences should have been to 

                 challenge yourself, so you’ll be expanding your knowledge. What you do earlier in

                 your career, will play a huge part in how competitive you’ll be later in your career.

          19. Finances (Sports cost money and need to be within your budget.)  Sports can be

                 expensive due to the equipment you need to compete. Some practice will cost

                 money. Sports tape, wrist and ankle supports, repairs on your equipment, 

                 optional events like brackets, eliminators and break the banks, drinks while 

                 competing and other accessories will add to the cost of your weekly events.

                 Don’t forget membership and team fees that your league will charge you to

                 compete.

         20. Goals (Many goals achieved by planning for them.) Most goals are within your

                 reach if you plan the work, them work your plan. You should be making two

                 goals, long term or career goals and short term with weekly and or seasonal

                 goals. Your individual goals should interrelate with what your team goals are so

                 both can be accomplished. Read my articles on goals so competing will have

                 meaning. Achieving your goals will create more memorable experiences and

                 the knowledge of what had to happen will help you succeed when chasing other

                 goals you set.   

           21. Injuries (Even minor injuries can hurt.) You could be sidelined with injuries for 

                 several weeks by something outside of sports. Being careful may not be enough.

                 Contact sports like basketball if your sport isn’t basketball, could cost you playing

                 time as it did for someone I knew. Tennis is a sport where twisted ankles can

                 happen and even falls when trying to win a point. You can’t focus on not getting

                 hurt in your sport. When you signed up to compete, you live with the knowledge

                 that injuries will occasionally happen.

          22. Intimidation (Watch what you say.) What you say and what others will say, can

                 tell a story of you are. Your first finals and you’re matched up against a past

                 champion will be intimidating to some. Competitors can try to psyche you out

                 before the match begins. Their routine in practice could intimidate some. Play

                 your game and not let anyone intimidate your good mental game. Limit your

                 responses to clear your mind, so great shots can continue to happen.

         23. Journal (A good way to see your stats and refer to see adjustments made.) Your

                 journal may not make the best-selling list, but it can be worth keeping. It will help

                 you own your shots no matter the results. It can help you make the correct

                 adjustments at the correct time and can show when transitions usually take

                 place for future knowledge. A journal may help you reach one of your goals like it

                 did for me when I shot my first 800 in bowling! It also helped me win the Senior

                 Masters!

         24. Knowledge (What you know can help you win championships!) Knowing all 345

                 factors related to sports should give you advantages over most athletes.

                 Knowing where to turn for answers like coaching could be the advantage you’ll

                 need to win. Having a better understanding of situations that occur almost

                 weekly can create a knowledge of what you must do better the next time.

                 Knowledge is king and knowing how to deal with adversity will make you

                 mentally stronger. Some sports deal with angles and knowing how certain

                 angles are better for scoring or producing positive results. Knowing your

                 limitations and working to narrow them, will give you knowledge of how to keep

                 your competitors close as this may increase the pressure they feel, with the

                 game wrapping up. 

         25. Learning (A slow process that can see big results.) It always seems that some

                 athletes won’t ever learn. They repeat mistakes and wonder why they lost.

                 Mistakes will happen, but repeating the same mistake shouldn’t exist. Absorb

                 any knowledge when starting your sport, so you can eliminate many problems

                 in the future. Hopefully you’ll learn that having fun and keeping a positive

                 attitude, could be enough to defeat your opponent.

         26. Mental toughness (A mental game test that you should win!) There are many

                 close games, and these contests may go the athletes who know that grinding it

                 out could be enough for the win. Remember, it’s not about winning, but the

                 process on how to win. Having mental toughness should show others you’re

                 ready for almost anything, especially winning. 

         27. Offense (Keeping your foot on the gas!) Not all sports or positions have a defense.

                 Offense refers to scoring, to help keep you in charge of game you’re currently

                 involved in. Keep focused to see more positive results. Give it your best shot is all

                 that you or anyone else can ask from you. There will be times that you can’t

                 control what’s happening because your sport doesn’t play defense. 

         28. Pacing yourself (Know your limitations.) Endurance sports is about pacing, so you

                 still have some gas in your tank when the finish line is just ahead. Burnout must

                 be avoided so you can finish the event strong. The only time to go all out is when 

                 you can view the finish line and know you will finish the race.

         29. Perception (What you saw may not be what others saw.) Seeing something a little

                 different from others shouldn’t surprise you. 

         30. Post-match (How well did you do?) What went right and what went wrong are

                 why you interpret the results. What you did right shows how well your mental

                 game is working. What did not will show you where you need to understand, how

                 to keep it from happening again. Logic dictates many decisions and even logic

                 could be flawed. Keeping an open mind when reviewing results, may reveal

                 something overlooked. Instant decisions must be made in some sports, while

                 other sports decisions may give you a minute or two. If your decisions helped you

                 win, great. Some decisions may not have influenced the outcome, but could you

                 adjust faster for the win, or could you make better decisions in the future to help

                 you win? Are you positively sure? I had to ask, or I wouldn’t be doing the best job

                 to get you back into seeing positive results.

           31. Pre-shot (What will happen?) I don’t know is the wrong answer! Your pre-shot

                 routine will guide your consistency to good results. This is not just for MUST HAVE

                 shots. Most pros have a routine, and their results show why a routine is required.

                 Once you’re in the Zone competing, your pre-shot routine keeps you in the Zone

                 and ready to throw a great shot!

          32. Pressure (No one is immune!) Why worry about pressure, when you can eliminate

                 most pressure on how you think about the situation. Most pressure is self-

                 induced because of the importance of the situation. Stay on course to get to the

                 finish line.

          33. Risks (How you see competition matters.) All athletes take risks as that is what

                 sports are about. Without risks, there is nothing to win or lose. How you view

                 winning has a risk. Some risks are like a winner take all match. Some risks must

                 be taken to salvage matches from getting out of hand. And of course you have 

                 your risk/ reward shots going after championships. Taking risks can define who 

                 you are, and being confident that you can pull it off will show how strong your

                 mental game is! 

          34. Routine (Something all athletes need to be more competitive.) Got routine? There

                are several routines that can make your good mental game into a great mental

                game! Routines help keep the pressure to a minimum. Routines will vary from

                athlete to athlete so there is no one routine that fits all. Let your routines make

                you more successful in the future!

         35. Schedule (So there is structure to compete at a high level.) Stay on your schedule

                and good things could start occurring. What, you don’t have a schedule? Think 

                about what is needed. Strategize the order to make it consistent. Write it down

                so you can refer to it later. Make a copy and keep in your car. Now you have to

                make it a habit. 

         36. Slumps (Something to avoid.) Practice and more practice usually will keep

                athletes out of slumps. Wanting to win and consistently coming up short, might 

                start a slump. Not participating in sports over several months is the perfect way

                to start slumps. You don’t need perfect ways to see undesirable results. Having

                a solid mental game should keep the slumps off your back and heads up to see

                good thing happen. 

         37. Statistics (Something to keep.) The stories that statistics tell can give you clues at

                why there are unexpected results. Your stats can be used as a learning

                experience to focus on parts of your game that need to be fixed. Stats can

                reinforce how good you are and help boost your confidence! Stats can show why

                you’re winning and help you to continue to win. Stats are a gauge to help your

                game so you should track where your game is for improvement in the future.

        38. Temper (Something you don’t need.) Does getting mad really help you? Does

                 acting like a kid help you get higher scores like the kids do? Does yelling at

                 referees help them make better calls and more in your favor? Does telling off the

                 coach after being benched, help your cause to be named a starter again? Does

                 slamming your equipment around get more wins? Should you answer no to all

                 these questions, you’re on the path with the exit to better results being the next

                 turn off. When athletes self-destruct, they may not recognize how to avoid

                 situations that can keep the from winning. Keep calm, accept the result, keep

                 your head in the game and go out there and get the job done!

         39. Visualization (Something you should be doing.) Only when you visualize on what

                 you need to do, will you be able to keep repeating great shots. Sports isn’t rocket

                 science, but it isn’t a hard as some athletes make it. Visualizing is about being

                 smarter than what you’re working with. Visualizing is a reality, and this reality is a

                 great concept for athletes.

          40. The ZONE! (THE ONLY PLACE you want to be when competing!) Finally, we’re

                 almost through these 40 factors. There's still 305 more in my first HOW TO

                     book. I hope some of you realized how these 40 ideals affect your game and

                 that all are needed to travel and compete in the Zone! The Zone is a one mind,

                 one body transformation that can only happen more often when you

                 understand the steps to get there and be able to stay the entire time when

                 competing. My first HOW TO book, The Path to Excellence, will show you how to

                 be prepared and taking the correct steps to learn what side street you’ll take to

                 get there! HOW TO build a better mental game will happen by making you

                 aware of what needs to happen step by step and then adding a little at a time. 

                 Trying to do too much may overwhelm some athletes and that’s why I added a

                 diferent factors every day for the 31 days of the month. My second HOW TO book,

                 From Excellence to Success, will have you focused on achieving SUCCESS! The

                 Zone isn’t a vacation, but your destination that should happen almost every

                 time you compete! You were hoping I would say every time. But as you may

                 know, no athlete has GREAT results every competition. AS a senior, we have good

                 days and then have a few not so good days. With 345 factors that can

                 determine who wins the match, just one factor may be enough to come up short.

                 That's why you need to understand the other 305 factors covered in my first

                 HOW TO book.

      WOW! These 40 factors SHOULD SHOW YOU why you should work to improve your

mental game! It's just 11% of all the factors I've covered. Knowledge and persistence are why champions keep making the finals after going after more championships.

     NOTE: I rewrote this factors article after I wanted to give a few details. When changing my HOW TO website, I wanted to tell athletes why these 40 are important to success while getting to and staying in the Zone. This covers most of the who, how, when and why you should work on your mental game. Now it’s time to show me and others who you really are and why you compete!!

As always , have fun and See you in the Zone!!
