Australian Open Tennis - battle of the mindset

I love watching any sport at the highest level and am keenly watching the Australian Open Tennis. Roger Federer appears a little more vulnerable - can he continue his run of Australian Open titles? Nadal and surprise semi-finalist Tsonga may prove worthy challengers for the title. I watch more than the game. I am particularly interested in seeing how athletes deal mentally with the pressure of the tough matches, especially as a tournament progresses. Does the player dare to go for the lines with the same confidence each and every point, or does the standing of the match determine his/her confidence.
A champion with 'emotional mastery' will be in charge of their emotional state to play optimally each and every point. The optimal emotional state will differ player to player. For example, Baghdatis appears to play better when he is fired up, and when he loses that, so does his game. Federer has a much more focused and calm emotion, and, it looks to me, that he doesn't even enjoy the game, so steady is his focus. His ready smile on completion of the match when he wins suggests differently.
Being able to reproduce the same emotion, whether you've won or lost a point, played a good or a bad shot, will propel you towards success in any sport. It's your choice, when you know how. Ask me how!!

What makes a Champion?

I'm really interested to know what you believe about success in sport. What does it take to succeed in sport? Do you believe that you need a certain quality, a certain build, a certain attitude to be the best?
Do you base future success on what you have done in the past? For example, if didn't play sport when your were younger, does this put you at a disadvantage or does it put you at an advantage? Mmmm, interesting.
Does which school you went to, where you live or where you were brought up make a difference?
Have a think about what you believe and then consider - "Does this belief empower you towards your goals or doesn't hinder you?"
I look forward to receiving your responses. You can also share your thoughts with me at AskAnnette - see the links section.

Sledging in Australia Cricket - is it necessary?

I read an interesting editorial today in The Courier Mail by Robert Craddock where he criticised the Australian Cricket team for writing a pledge - the Spirit of Cricket pledge. The pledge is basically a commitment to values and behaviour by which the team members commit to adhering - both on the field and off. The team were reported to have had a meeting yesterday to re-inforce the pledge, in light of recent damaging reports on their sledging and other alledged displays of poor sportsmanship.
Robert Craddock implied that there was no room in sport for being nice. That the success of the Australian team is based on being 'hard-edged, sharp-tongued, no-nonsense.....who do what they have to do to win.' Robert went on to cite other known sporting team that are similarly not known for 'being nice'.
My issue with the article is that Robert perpetuates the myth that you have to be a certain charachteristic to be a winner. That's like saying you have to have the ruthlessness of Donald Trump to be rich. This is the basis of limiting beliefs that can stop a person being truly successful, if they buy into the myth. "I don't WANT to be nasty or ruthless, and therefore, I don't want to be successful."
What if you start looking at ALL the winning teams and individuals that ARE NICE also. That can win consistently and do it professionally and with respect for their opposition.
Sure you need to have a determination to WIN, and to do whatever it takes to win, but I don't regard sledging and poor sportsmanship, as a necessary formula to winning.

So what will be "hot" in 2008. One of the most common topics has been VIDEO. That's no surprise really but I think thedifference is HOW video will be used.
That's why so many are talking about thesignificance of this video: http://www.therelaunch.com/?af=425041
It gives tremendous insight regarding the emergence of entertainment and marketing working together in the same video.

1) Watch the video and learn:http://www.therelaunch.com/?af=425041

What's happening in 2008

It's already the 2nd week of the year and I hope you have hit the year running. Those of you who switched off entirely during the holiday season might have a rude shock getting back into the swing of things. Have you kept up momentum on your goals? When on holiday it helps to just check in every now and then to keep the ball rolling. Once the ball stops it's harder to get it going again.

I've been keeping busy looking at how I can connect with more people online though teleseminars. I'm ecstatic that I joined up to learn from Alex Mandossian http://www.teleseminarsecrets.com/ and I am gearing up to run my own teleseminars. Details coming very soon.
