How To Win Despite Trip-Ups.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)(IBD'S 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESS)
Byline: Amy Alexander
Everyone makes mistakes -- it's what you do afterward that counts. Just ask sports psychologists Stephen Russo and William Gayton. They've helped athletes from weekend warriors to top professionals learn to dust themselves off and excel after flub-ups.
Russo is director of sports psychology at the University of Pittsburgh Center for Sports Medicine. He's worked with the National Football League and the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre.
Gayton is a professor of psychology at the University of Southern Maine in Portland and director of the Annual Sports Psychology Institute. He's served as team psychologist for the Maine Mariners in the American Hockey League.
Your office might not look much like a tennis court, track or ice-skating rink. Yet the mental tricks that Russo and Gayton impress on their athletes to help them get over mistakes work great for executives, too.
In recent interviews, Russo and Gayton shared a few of their most effective strategies. To turn regret into a windfall, they suggest the following:
Stop kicking yourself. "Great performances often include mistakes," Russo said. "Instead of getting upset, losing focus or giving up in the middle of a competition, errors or mistakes can be used by athletes as an opportunity to learn a great deal about themselves."
