“Telling an athlete, student, employee, what they are doing wrong is a huge mental error in performance. The power of thinking about what NOT to do pollutes the brain with the picture and idea of missing, not completing, and filling it with what you want to avoid. Language is powerful that even a hint of what you are trying to avoid can be fateful.”

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don’t you quit; Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are; It may be near when it seems far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

– John Greenleaf Whittier
