I'd like to spend just a few seconds talking about the importance of effective thinking. There's been a lot said about how important it is to think positively and to speak positively to your self. The truth is it doesn't really matter whether your talk positive or negative. Both can lead to great performances. The key is whether your thinking is effective. Effective thinking makes you want to continue, it makes you want to stay on the course even when things are getting hard, even under adverse conditions. Effective thinking is going to help you maintain control over your strategy. It's going to help you consider some reasonable alternative and it's going to help you to trust your game. ******************************************************** ******************************************************** We're also on Facebook at bit.ly © Copyright National University System 2012
