I have talked a lot about motivation, confidence, and focus and desire. All of these are important, but what about luck? Do you ever wonder why athletes wear the same 'lucky shirt' in competition such as Tiger Woods wearing his traditional red shirt on Sunday or athletes who eat the exact same meal for good luck prior to competition? Some teams even go as far as not washing their jerseys until they lose a game.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:23:10 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=724&c=729&sn=%20badminton&cn=%20psychology&view=1812http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=724&c=729&sn=%20badminton&cn=%20psychology&view=1812Many studies have researched athlete's experiences in The Zone. Regardless of their sport they have found many similarities in the words they use to describe their experience.
