How to Be a Winner Sir Steven
Redgrave Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals "In
1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病). Believing my career was over,
I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I

write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step
closer to achieving them." Kirsten Best Poet

head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other
distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel
tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ’calm’, ’peace’ or ’focus’, either
out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases
my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is
a powerful psychological (心理的) tool."The author writes the passage to______.
