People are like this. Even if they are reluctant, as long as they are ahead of others, the state will come out and they can even exert 120 or 150 power.

——"Mind Method 2: Burning Fighting Soul"

01

The goal you set must be achieved no matter what, if you put this As one of the "burning fighting souls", it is like a marathon. In the world of sports, what is needed is to defeat yourself.

Previously, a member of the Kyocera women's track and field team participated in the marathon at the Barcelona Olympics and won fifth place (later mentioned fourth place). I happened to be on a business trip in Europe at the time, and I rushed there to watch and support her.

The competition was held in unusually hot weather. The silver medalist Yuko Arimori fell to the ground immediately after running out of energy after sprinting. But not only did our player not fall to the ground, he was able to jump easily. In an interview after the game, she said: "My goal was eighth, but I ended up fifth, so I'm very happy."

When she said this, I didn't think so. I think it's a pity because she actually has great potential within her.

Before the Olympics, I had dinner with the coach of the women's track and field team and this athlete in Tokyo. At that time, I encouraged her: "You must win this marathon." It’s important to keep up with the team in front!”

This player had won a silver medal in the World Championships where strong players gathered the previous year, and he has actual performance and strength. Her next goal should undoubtedly be the gold medal. How can she say "the goal is eighth"? At least it has to be the same as last year, and at worst it has to win a bronze medal.

In order to win, she had ignited a fierce fighting spirit and put in rigorous training. If so, what she should have said is: "I wanted to compete for the gold medal, but I had to win." Fifth, I’m really sorry and regretful!” But she didn’t say that.

"For me, who has bet my youth on the competition, I am happy just because I finished fifth? Isn't this hypocritical?" I even wanted to say this to her. In short, it is a pity that during the interview with her, I could not feel that she had tried her best.

Before the marathon, I said, "Keep up with the team at the front!" This is how people are, even if it is reluctant, as long as they are ahead of others, the state will come out, even Able to exert 120, 150 power. People who have participated in sports understand this truth. When you win because you are in good condition, you will be full of strength.

However, when you lose, that is, when you are behind in a marathon, your legs and feet will really feel heavy and you can't exert any strength. That’s why I encouraged her to “keep up with the leading team”! Because she failed to do this, her original strong strength was not fully utilized.
