Recognize that it is a long haul and worrying about who wins and loses will only
distract you from your path.
2. Know You Will Lose.
Ignoring the fact that a loss will occur will only make it that much harder to deal with. Learn from the loss and help your staff and team turn the page to the next game.
3. Stay on The Path.
3. Stay on The Path.
Have a clear plan, a clear goal, and a clear mission. Talk about
it! Don't deviate from your plan. Keep your team and staff focused on what is important.
4. Don't Waste Energy.

4. Don't Waste Energy.
Worrying about issues such as other teams, future games or prior loses only distracts you from your goal. Take it one game at a time and don't allow the small things to become big.
