In reflection, it all sounded a bit too negative, which is not what I intended. Rather, I was thinking of all the dichotomies inherent in the concept of a “winning” attitude.<BR/>Sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439380262226647650.post-56302079895535311132009-01-09T10:10:00.000-08:002009-01-09T10:10:00.000-08:00Ms.Glenn,Have you ever wondered, as I have, which ...Ms.Glenn,<BR/>Have you ever wondered, as I have, which really comes first? Is it that those who become “Champions” at something very competitive work at the “head games” better to achieve the success, or is it really the other way around, that the confidence is born of and from the successes? In any sport that has some level of popularity (and marketability) talent is recognized early, after which a period of nurturing happens, where they are coached, trained and helped in many ways others are not. <BR/>Usain Bolt is a current example. He absolutely did not ‘come out of nowhere’. He was a junior champion, recognized as a great talent early, and has undergone a long period of coddling and patient training. He had reasons very early to “know” he was going to be “great”. I’m often reminded of Aryton Senna’s rather arrogant attitude about this, stating, after becoming World F1 Champion, how he always knew he would be a champion. Well, it’s kinda easy to say that after the fact. That’s why I take it with a grain (or 10) of salt, when you hear winners, after winning, talk all about their “confidence” in their abilities to win.<BR/>As a side “benefit” from the “I am a Champion” mentality, is watching their reaction to losing. Motorsports exemplifies this best, when guys lose, and it’s everybody and everything else’s fault – “The tires were no good”, “We’re down on power”, “So-and-So blocked me” and on and on. Very rarely do you hear “I got beat, wasn’t fast enough/good enough today”. Further, in Athletics’ how much does the ‘I will win’ attitude enable a person to justify to themselves the use of performance-enhancing drugs, because, as we just know, winning is absolutely everything.<BR/>I would wonder about what could be extracted from almost any person, in any field, as far as personal confidence and “winning attitude”, if they received success early and then where personally mentored for years to cultivate that. Ms. Glenn, most of us never receive any such thing in life. <BR/>Just my comments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439380262226647650.post-58272549411199003922009-01-08T14:02:00.000-08:002009-01-08T14:02:00.000-08:00Brit, you are retarded!

Brianna, I realize it is easier said than done, but if you believe you are a 24+ feet long jumper the odds are you'll be much more likely to achieve those big jumps. Hopefully, the sports pyschologist will help you achieve a more positive thought process, because you obviously underestimate your greatness. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439380262226647650.post-90236454324785849642009-01-07T10:15:00.000-08:002009-01-07T10:15:00.000-08:00I guess in your career branch, you definitely need...I guess in your career branch, you definitely need someone like that to keep you focus and sorted. Which is a good thing. Despite the fact that you sometimes doubt your ability to win, you are a very positive person. And that goes a long way.<BR/><BR/>Dana's right concerning the sigma thing. <BR/>My best friend is a psychologist and she's doing the doctorate thing now, and as part of the curriculum she needs to see a shrink on the regular. It's amazing the things she's found out about herself as a person.<BR/><BR/>The world might be a better place if a visit to the shrink's office was mandatory. lolt.v.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09520453763962154292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439380262226647650.post-1122098094209488332009-01-07T07:16:00.000-08:002009-01-07T07:16:00.000-08:00That's really AWESOME Brianna! I think it's really...That's really AWESOME Brianna! I think it's really brave of anyone to see any person with <I>psych</I> in their title...b/c there's such a stigma around it. I've never had a psychologist or psychiatrist myself but have thought seriously about getting one for what I call my "fear patterns". It's amazing how we can create total fabrications in our heads and actually manifest them into existence b/c of our thinking. Our actions are controled by what we think which then makes the outcome into whatever you thought it was going to be. Often times we create bad/fear scenarios b/c we want to try to prepare ourselves for any let downs just to discover that even though you prepared, it still hurts like hell and you're even more depressed. I think it's awesome that you're using the resources you have available to help you change your thought patterns into good, positive, and rewarding thoughts. I'm sure you'll inspire others to do the same which means even more happy, positive people!!=)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08991071306838666573noreply@blogger.com
