Michael Jordan, one of basketball’s greatest, concedes that he “can accept failure... but [he] can’t accept not trying”. His career is testimony to this: he persisted till he got his shots perfect. His mind-boggling dunks and three-pointers were his reward for the hours he spent training. In his own words, “Success isn’t something you chase. It’s something you have to put forth the effort for constantly. Then maybe it’ll come when you least expect it.”
“Invincible” sportsmen like Roger Federer, Michael Schumacher or Tiger Woods are not superhuman; they are mortals with a strong desire for excellence.
