This picture was posted around Facebook lately and it really resonated with me. The swimmer at the top of the picture beat Michael Phelps in an event before. Leading up to the race he was talking smack about the event and how he was going to beat him again. He also put on a huge show where he was shadow boxing in front of Phelps before the event etc.
During the race he kept looking over to see where Phelps was instead of focusing on his own race. In the end, Phelps won the gold, and Le Cloe didn’t even get a medal. He finished .04 seconds behind the bronze medalist.
The moral of the story, focus on your race. Do what you need to do, and you’ll be more successful.
The quote on the Facebook post was this:
Winners focus on winner, and losers focus on winners.
Where is your focus?
