Narrow your focus and see that you hit or almost hit your target every time.
Instead of focusing on whether things are good or bad, focus on progress. Stay committed to getting a little better every day.

Lessons learned.... 1. It all starts with developing your process. 2. It takes small actions every day 3. It takes persistence, patience, and commitment.
If your commitment is greater than your feelings, you will get results. Schwarber tracked 1,300 pitches from a pitching machine, a process that helped him recognize breaking balls. He faced live pitching from a Cubs prospect. And then he played in two games. He walked twice, and his only hit was a double, but Epstein said in his second game, on Monday, “he smoked three balls.” And the next night, he played in a World Series game.

Your athletes will need to know exactly when, where, and how to strike your opponents to best weaken and disable them. How precisely your athletes are able to execute and adapt their game plan will have a big bearing on the final outcome.
Instead of relying solely on power to take down an opponent, especially one who has just as much or more firepower, they must develop a calculated and coordinated plan of attack designed to take out your opponent's strengths and target their weaknesses.
Competitiveness is, in essence, the harnessing of the explosive power of passion, desire, rage, and fury into a single streamlined, powerful, and destructive force, like a missile.
