Failure can be experienced in many different ways. It’s the decisions you make after you have that experience which determines how you handle the same situation in the future. I’ve experienced failure in many different forms during my high school soccer career. Freshman year i broke my leg winter break and had to re build muscle strength and almost learn how to run again. This showed me that in life things can set you back, it may be crippling physically or mentally but once you overcome those challenges you develope a sense of perseverance and break through challenges! Like Winston Churchill says “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” I also believe that failure is the greatest teacher because you learn from act that didn't work and you learn to adjust and challenge the lack of success you once had.
You almost start to develop an algorithm to break through those challenges to avoid failure. You can work on your shooting so you never miss a shot, you can develop new foot placement to change the angle of your shot. You can adjust the way your foot strikes the ball, but in the end its who is stronger mentally and wants the drive who wins!
If you remember the fight between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, it was more than just a boxing match it was a mental game! It went 11 rounds and Joe Frazier won defeating Ali for the first time out of 31 fights! It easy ali had a strategy that was a little out of the norm, it was an acting stunt where he would ton Frazier to throw bigger punches by acting dizzy. In the end Frazier won but ended up with life crippling injuries! he won the money but lost
