Some people believe that the fittest and strongest individuals and teams always succeed in sports. Others think that success in sports depends on mental attitudes.

Sports

play an important role in our modern life. Some people think that physical fitness may lead to high achievement in

sports

, whereas a large number of people believe that solid mental attitudes could bring success to athletes.

required, which is possible only if the

players

have a strong and mature mindset. The strategy to win a game demands persistence and comprises efforts and never say die attitude along with a goal-oriented approach.

sports

person should not only work on their physical fitness but

also

cultivate the right attitude.
