You job as a player is to Act As If It Were Impossible To Fail. The #1 job as a coach is to allow your players to Act As If It Were Impossible To Fail.

Why don't you open up a set of baseball cards? Some say the value increases if you leave them unopened. Why? They can't get damaged, bent, dirt, or lost if you keep them unopened. However, you will never know what is inside the pack if you don't open it up.

Ingredients:

Fail, Fail, Fail, and then Fail again.

Repeat until you have success. 

Just because you fail doesn't mean that you need to bail.  What did you learn from that experience that can help you to accomplish the act next time?

Gathering data from a previous engagement is the best way to develop a game plan that will give you the best chance for success. 

When you feel like life is dumping on you - use it to your advantage. Shake it off and step up

How do you embrace failure that you know is coming your way? Distract the situation my challenging yourself to do things that make you uncomfortable.

If you don't practice getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, you will be uncomfortable when things get uncomfortable.

How do you embrace failure so that it helps you instead of hurts you?

Perspective!!
