CHOKER

 Choker is the unkindest of  labels in sport. It means you have the talent, but not the temperament to win, especially when it matters most. It means your defeats are caused as much by your opponents as by the demons in your head. It is a terrible cross to bear.

Perhaps you may find you are up against opponents who relish the big stage and seldom concede an inch.

But if you have the fire in you, if you have the patience and the discipline, you can successfully rewrite the script and bury the tag of 'Choker' forever.   

You need inspirational leadership for that.  To stay there you will have to fight on even if you are plagued by discomforts and disabilities.

Finally you will have to believe you are going to turn the tables in your favour.
