When ” things ” were going wrong , everyone searched for NICK GALIS (the colossal basketball greek player who came from NBA in Greece in 1978 ) , to give the ball and make the “work” .
And NICK made it . He entered into his “elite mindset zone” , as he have said many times , he focused 110 % and made the crucial point .
And Greece , back in 1987 took the Eurobasket championship . The first in Greece’s history and a new era for Greece in basketball came .
Of course the other players were so good : Giannakis , Xristodoulou , Kabouris .
When the team needs the final crucial point , in Euroleague , all the players , were searching for Dimitris Diamantidis and Bill Spanoulis to take the “game in their shoulders ” .
When the ball ” weights a ton ” , few can do the job . And Diamantidis and Spanoulis shot the final three-point shot and wrote history .
When the football ball ” weights tons ” , Maradona ,Pele , Zinedine Zidane , Cristiano Ronaldo , Lionel Messi , Roberto Baggio(no matter what) ……. are taking the ball and go to do the “job” .
When Valentino Rossi , Marc Marquez ,“King” Kenny Roberts and so many others bike champions ,had crushes in their practise for the pole position , they run back in pits , take the second bike , come inside and make the best time , using superior willpower .
When Michael Schumacher’s mother died a couple of days before Michael’s race in the weekend , Michael went to his home , to his mother funural , took the helicopter back to race , and WON the race ( if i remember correctly and the pole ) .
Couldn’t he found an excuse not to race ? Or having lower performance in the race ? Who would he said anyhting to him ? He could have all the excuses of the world . But he didn’t use any .
Can we imagine what thoughts were passing his mind racing in those speeds going his “magic” ?
We don’t think that these unique champions , aren’t letting any thought brake their mammoth focus . These guys and girls , are so trained in their mind , not to let anything “brake” their mentality and focus till they’ll finish the “job” .They know , that failure is in the corner if they let any external element distract them .
This mindset ability is trained from the kid age , but it can be taught .
It can be taught and sharpen during your growing life and the most important , through serious difficulties in life .
Because survival deep insticts unveiled and mature you and your approach in things .So we suppose difficulties , aren’t so bad .
