One of our contacts, a sports psychologist and co-author of the "Who Will Win the Big Game?" book had a chance to interview Shannon Miller, the Gold Medal Olympic gymnast. The interesting thing is that -- even at that high level -- she talks about:
- hard work
- focus (and getting into "the zone")
- mental toughness and not getting derailed
- performing "smart" (when you are not 100%)
- setting goals
