Handshake at business meeting

"What does it take to get to the top? For a long time sports stars relied very heavily on natural talent to win them that trophy or tournament. In modern times the competition has been so intense, so close that everyone looks for an edge. A hard work ethic combined with a good lifestyle and the right nutrition can definitely help. Mental toughness (which can be learnt) in match situations can be the deciding factor in crossing the finishing line first. Many times in my career I've called upon mental techniques to get me through difficult phases of the game."
