Thought for the Day - The One Champion Quality

The one champion quality which I feel is the most important is this - how quickly they bounce back from a setback. It's a given that we will all make mistakes but how we react to the mistake differentiates the champions from the ordinary.

Everyone talks of a good day, a bad day and all that, but what really makes the champion different is that she is willing to 1) push a good day into a great day and 2) keeps bouncing back on a bad day. A dropped catch, a misfield, a bad ball, a missed shot, a missed penalty - the champion comes back strongly. Most others fall to pieces, go into a downward spiral, but champions put themselves together and come back. 

So the next time you have a setback - think like a champion and bounce back. That's all. Keep coming back, keep trying harder. Don't give in.
