Champions do one thing better than everyone else. FAIL!! When a champion has a bad race they not only use this failure for feedback ("What did I do wrong ... How can I improve") But just as important, they let it go quickly. In other words, they don't dwell on the past. When you hang onto your bad races and mistakes in a meet, the one thing you can count on happening is that you'll get more of them!

That is sooooo true! I always feel that I should let go of my mistake and go ahead. But everytime I make one, I start blaming myself and tend to brood over it. Instead, probably I must stop for a while, check out where I have erred and then continue without repeating it. Well, I am learning it....slowly.......
