00:00My coach once told me, when your opponent hits a great shot, ask yourself, how did I allow him a
00:08loose ball? It's not that he has played a great shot. I gave him the opportunity to play a great
00:14shot. Had I not given him a loose ball, he wouldn't have been able to play a great shot.
00:20Don't tell yourself, oh my God, I have a ferocious opponent. I'm surely going to be defeated.
00:27That's not the thing to be said. Yes, your shot is indeed great. All right. I admire that.
00:35I concede you played a wonderful shot. But before you played that great shot, something else happened.
00:41What was that? I offered you an easy ball. I'm not going to do that. That's real competitiveness.
00:51Real competitiveness introspects. Real competitiveness looks at oneself and tries to raise the bar
01:02within. Your potential stops nowhere. At no point can a limit be set to your potential.
01:10You insult yourself. You degrade yourself when you limit yourself in any way. And one sure
01:21short way of limiting yourself is by thinking of the opponent as great or very superior.
01:30As you said.
01:31As you said.
01:33The reality shall lie.
