Hauora and Olmypics

In the olympics, atheletes are trained metally and physically, to prepare themselves for defeat or success. When all four walls are standing, it is important to have acceptance as athletes, weather they win or lose. It is important to embrace the times of accomplishments and pride, but it is fairly important to take time to learn from loses. When losing it is key to remember that the more mistakes, the more knowledgable and clever you become. Having negative mindset always brings, lost of confidence, self esteem stress motiviation and insecurites etc. When you learn to have self respect, humbleness  and strong walls, they will help you become calm in all situations(win/lose).
