ELEMENTS OF VICTORY
“VICTORY”!
What a sound word. Every athletes want victory in their every matches, games or
tournaments. We usually make V shape with our two finger while clicking
pictures during achievements which indicates victory. Victory is the prime
dream of all athletes in their athletic life. Besides Victory another part come
Lose which always goes together. If one player or team wins another player or
team will loss it is the universal truth. Here I am going to discuss about
elements which affects the victory and it is my own experience not necessary
that every athlete may feel same as like me.
A.
Positive
attitude
Your
feelings or attitude should be always positive towards the destiny. It means if
you win you will be happy of course but be prepare for lose also. If you lose
the game you shouldn’t upset because it is the part of game. I have seen some
player crying in arena for losing bout against opponent during tournament which
is not so good. You must take lesion from your lose and prepare yourself for next
tournament. But we always take part in championship to become winner not for
loser. So be positive always.
B. B. Regular Practice
Regular
practice is the key of success. For better performance and better result you
have to practice regular. Without continuity you can’t improve your skills
& will interrupt the path of progress. There is a quote also that practice
makes man/woman perfect. Variation of practice may bring more interest in you.
Same schedule and same location or same pattern of daily practice can make bore
you. So some time try to change your method or pattern of practice of your
skills. This may bring good results too.
C C. Consistency
Every
player tries to maintain his/her best form during athletic life to become
champion. The form may be achieved after long time of regular practice but
maintaining the best form for long period is challenging for all. It means
making consistency in regular form is hard enough and challenging task for players.
But athletes should maintain it to achieve victory.
D D. Focused on yourself
Don’t
pay attention to your opponent you should focus on yourself. While you
preparing for tournament or entering to
arena you should think about your moves, plan & strategy not about your
opponent at all. Your vision about what is you going to perform in the arena or
tournament is main key so give it more importance than other things.
E E. Environment
Practice
session is one part and actual tournament is another part. What kind of
environment we create during practice session and before tournament it directly
affects the player’s attitude. If we create positive environment it will
certainly affect positive will. Necessary facilities to athletes must be
provided. It supports them by psychologically towards victory. If these kind of
things goes opposite of players of course it will lead them to negativity.
F. F. Motivation
Motivational
charge for players is must in today’s scenario. Only good training with good
coach is not enough today. Without
positive motivation players cannot give 100% to the game. They should be
psychologically treated and prepared for the tournaments. I have met some
coaches who said once that if his student will not win in the next bout he
shall break his nose or dismiss from the class. A student told me about it at
the same time I thought that it is not a motivation it was threat given by
instructor to his student. It is not a way to treat the students. Obviously it
brings negative thinking about art and coach. Threat never gives good result;
coach should motivate them successfully in a positive manner.
At last, Winners are
not those who never fail, they are those who never quit. Champions also make
mistakes but not repeating mistakes is great lesion. Our goal is always to
become winner and achieve victory so I usually say “WE RISE EVERY TIME WE FALL BUT NEVER QUIT”. Oss
