You're running a 10k marathon, and you feel like quitting. On the last couple of miles you stop and just start walking. That doesn't mean you're weak physically, but you are weak mentally. When someone tells me that I can't do something, I'll keep going at it until I succeed. What is mental toughness? Mental toughness is the desire to go longer than your opponent, wanting to win, and never saying never. I never say die, I never say try, and I never say never. If you want to be the best keep thinking "this doesn't hurt. I have to keep going. I'll never lose. If I quit now than everything is lost." The people who are the toughest mentally are the ones that usually prevail. If you can think it, it can become reality. It comes down to the mind. Never second guess yourself. Tell yourself that you are the best, because you are. By staying positive, you're one step ahead of your opponent if they are thinking negative.
Love and Respect much

I agree totally with this. When bowling, running, wrestling, weightlifting or whatever sport you may choose it's always great to look on the positives because if you think about one negative thing, you won't have an edge over an opponent. You must have the mindset to strive for the best and never let bad days with sports get to you. You must use that to boost your mindset and to improve at the sport.
