There have been a number of times when I've been less than happy with my performance.
I play sports, and I can think of a number of times when I've under-performed on the basketball court as an example.
What do you do when you're not pleased with your performance?
The only thing you can do when you've put in a less-than -brilliant performance is to focus and improve.
Taking my high-school basketball experience as an example, there were a couple of games where I felt I could have played better, but didn't.
One specific example came after spring break. I had spent the entire week partying, and hadn't bothered to practice. When it came to game time, my skills were a little rusty - and this reflected on my performance.
At the end of the game, my coach pulled me up on the fact that I wasn't playing as well as I usually did - and this made me feel sad and embarrassed.
Although I wasn't pleased with my performance, my reaction was the most important part. That game made me realize that I needed to be 100% focused in the run-up to games.
Never again did I go out drinking before a game - and, no matter how busy I was with my social life, I always made sure I found time for basketball practice.
