Although I would generally agree with Dr Rotella, the author of this article, he teaches GOLF.

Not exactly a contact sport.  So my response to this is actually a quote from Mr Like Tyson ~

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

What I like so much about the quote is that its application stretches far beyond boxing (and football).  It really has meaning in any area of life, whether the blow comes from a health issue, losing your job, making a bad investment, a traffic jam, whatever.

It's how you react to that adversity that defines you, not the adversity itself.

A-Jay,

Great quote(regardless of who said it).  Only things I can add is, another great quote from Jonathon Gilliam-

"When you have a plan, you respond, when you don't you react."   So, plan on getting punched in the face sometime. 

I must disagree with the reaction to adversity is the definition of a person. But, that's another subject, I will keep it positive.
