The Vision of a Champion by Anson Dorrance and Gloria Averbuch, The shark in the water

Be the shark in the water. “Every single duel is a statement of who wants it more,” (Dorrance 125). The Competitive Cauldron is a fire into which every sports player is thrown into in order to develop into a stronger player and develop the critical aspects of becoming the best player on the field. People play like they practice. How you practice is how you’ll perform. The competitive cauldron is all about outlasting the other player psychologically and physically. You must be constantly willing to push yourself beyond your limit in order to toughen yourself and to break your opponent. When you talk about breaking an opponent it’s not physically but psychologically. The ability to break an opponent creates an enormous advantage. Have competitive practices because it will continually feel like being tossed into an arena like a gladiator, unable to back down to a tougher challenge. Self discipline and desire helps you to become a better player.
