The "BIG 4"The four things that an athlete controls in their world.(I didn't list these things in any particular order but they're pretty-much self-explanatory.)
SELF-DISCIPLINE
It's nobody's
fault
if you're making mental errors that are hurting the progress of your team or goals. It is solely up to you to be disciplined enough to execute and make sound decisions in the heat of the moment at the precise time. This alone will play a tremendous role in your overall performance.
CONDITIONING
If you're in the game longer than the average player, what your team does for conditioning should never be suitable. Your job is gonna demand more so you have to put in more time to measure-up to the task at hand. It's assured that you will have to hold up to certain expectations or you won't see much action in the long run. It's your fault if you clock-in unprepared and or out-of-shape and not ready to perform. Don't be a bum, get out and get some!
YOUR BODY (CONTROL / MECHANICS)
He who lacks control over the body also lacks control over his or her performance. If you know that you're lacking in certain areas why are you spending the bulk of your time working solely on your strengths? You're working your way out of a job and boxing yourself into a predictable mold. Know your weak points and strengthen them so you can improve on your overall performance and not just one aspect of your game.
CHARACTER
Your moral or ethical qualities weigh heavily on your reputation. This can carry you far in life and not just in the competitive arena. People can easily depend on people with high character to get the job done and to make the right decisions. Questionable character can serve as a deal breaker.

THE MENTAL OVERRIDE
You can't think with an average mind and expect to accomplish great things. What are you prepared to do and how far are you willing to go to attain it? That is my question to you. What is your mindset to achieving greatness? Physically you will only go as far as your mind will allow you to go.
Here, you will have to be in tune both mentally and physically to achieve your greatest results. A well disciplined person with a high degree of mental toughness always has an edge. He or she is always willing to go a great distance to achieve their goals. When people constantly search for excuses, there lies the reason why they constantly fail.
If you ask around, most people are basically too afraid to hurt for what they want. It seems to be the ongoing trend. In order to get what you want out of life you're going to have to hurt for it at some point. If it's too early in the morning, then it may HURT their sleep. Too late in the evening, then it's going to HURT their off time. What if your lack of willingness to sacrifice something HURTS your chances of achieving your goals? Any true physical or mental test is going to hurt. Learn to embrace the painful nature of the process to progress to the next level.
