Summary: "your approach to sports can have a profound impact on the success you enjoy in the end." — Tola Ogunlewe Everyone involved in sports does so for a particular reason. Performance or Mastery? Which category do you fall into? Are you more interested in just winning or having fun or are you more interested in improving? The answer to this key question determines a lot when it comes to the true success you enjoy in sports. You see when you chase mastery which is centered around self-improvement, you ultimate enjoy the success that comes with chasing just performance.

Its much similar to self development and the drive to add value to the world.
