Do you agree with this? A game is a complex combinationof techniques, defense moves, pace, structure, and scoring mechanisms. Allgames have a winner and a loser. What gets a large section of societyinterested in a particular game in the first place is quite an enigma. All ofthe many factors about the game-the competitiveness, the speed, the aggression,and the skill required--capture the imagination of people and bring them out indroves to watch a match.Why some players take tograppling and combat athletics while others play baseball or basketball is amystery. It's a question of opportunity, childhood exposure to the game,mindset to handle the rigors of a particular game, interest in the gameprocess, physical fitness to play the game, and so onHowever, the main thing an athletemust keep in mind is that the genius lies in the fine art of the sportperfected over thousands of years, played by thousands of players before you,and yet to be played by thousands after you. You are merely the talent thattakes the game forward and brings entertainments to thousands of people. It isthe power of the game, its nuances and techniques, and the sheer enjoyment ofthe mechanics of the game that is the real crowd puller. If you are a"star," then it means that you are the person with the ability toexecute the game the way it is meant to be played, but the game itself willalways be "King."The mindset of a sportsperson inaddition to all the mental preparation has to be humble enough to acknowledgethe greatness of the sport. You playa big role, but that's only if you take thetime to understand the game thoroughly. When fans cheer you, they aredefinitely saluting you for a game well played. But remember, they are therebecause they love the game. If the game did not appeal to them, they would notbe there. Required Mindset Shun feelings of self-importanceDon't consider yourself indispensable: In fact, try to imagine and make a list of people who may be called to replace you in case you cannot play. It will be a sobering experienceFocus on bringing out the finer details of the gameFocus on understanding every small nuance of the gameLove the game as much as your fans do "Attitude-Ego"Syndrome  This problem can be bestexplained with the storyline in the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire.Jerry Maguire was a big hit andeverybody remembers the famous catch phrase in the movie -"show me themoney." This movie made a subtle statement on the psyche of sportsprofessional.  Let's take a look.Tom Cruiseplayed Jerry Maguire, a slick and successful sports agent who finds himself outof a job after writing an idealistic "mission statement" on caringfor clients (sports professionals). Jerry Maguire manages to retain one clientRod Tidwell, played by Cuba Gooding Jr. The Rod Tidwell character is a footballplayer with a chip on his shoulder who hassles Jerry to "show me themoney." He wants an attractive contract and believes that his image isstrong enough for him to endorse big brand names. Rod Tidwell behaves in abrash manner and does not play well enough for Jerry to swing big deals forhim. Tidwell is the best wide receiver in the NFL, but because of his big egoand attitude problem, no mega-buck contract or big-time endorsements come hisway. Jerry has the task of making him a star, despite his behavior.After aparticularly poor performance, Jerry gives Tidwell a "dressing down"on his poor attitude that is jeopardizing his game. Rod Tidwell ultimately goesthrough a transformation and polishes up his performance. He also becomes ateam player and raises the morale of the entire team. And with good performance,he also gets to sign a lucrative deal-one he was initially after when he askedJerry to "show me the money." What do we learn from this story?The sport that you choose to play has to receive its due in terms of commitmentto preparation and performance. There are no short cuts. To play the game wellyou have to have the right attitude in addition to all the practice youundergo. To be noticed and singled out, your dedication to the game has to beevident. When you recognize that the "pure science" of the game isthe real hero, you will set aside your ego and instead play for the sheer loveof your sport.  http://www.lloydirvin.com
