It is easy to be fooled by competition results both good and bad, wins or loses. Wins can disguise deficiencies and losses can hide progress. The take home point is to always focus on the process and never lose sight of the ultimate long-term goal. Each competition is a stepping-stone to further excellence. Keep each competition in perspective. Each competition is worth at least five training sessions in terms of learning opportunities so learn from the good performances, bad performances, wins and loses.
