Truth: Performance = Potential – internal interference

A TV anchor once asked Martina Navratilova, �How do you maintain your focus and manage to keep playing, even at the age of 43? �

Her suave response was, �The ball doesn�t know how old I am.

In his excellent book, Stillpower, Sports Psychologist Garret Kramer says that a key factor to performing well in sports (and in life), is your ability to control the quality and quantity of your �internal dialogue�.

Performance = Potential - internal interference

In other words, you need to stop yourself from stopping yourself.

Sports, fitness, business and indeed Life are played on a 6-inch ground � the space between our own two ears!
