The Mental Preparation of the Athletes
I think that people, when they talk about mental preparation, need to take a step back and realize that almost every element of what people describe as mental preparation has physical underpinnings. Literally 95% of what I teach the athletes is physical skills. And it's my belief that every mental aspect of competition, the most important which will be confidence on stage, is a direct result of the accumulation of physical skills. Like Bukowski said, love is a fog that fades with the first daylight of reality or something like that. So, even love is temporary.
