"Goals
Goals.  Successful players set realistic, measurable and time-oriented long-term and short-term goals.  Goals that are too high set the player up for failure.  Constant failures effect the player's mental balance and diminishes their level of play.  To insure progress toward excellence, they adjust steps within the goal, but keep the same target completion date.
Commitment.  Successful players commit themselves to their goals and their everyday activities to achieve these goals.  Without daily reinforcement, skills stay the same and sometimes regress, but rarely improve.  They know this, they never accept any reason why they can not work toward their goals everyday."

Attitudes
Control. Successful players know they have control over their lives" they are never a victim to situations or circumstances that come up.  Successful players have complete control of the their actions.  Everything they say and do is a conscious decision.  The more players realize how much control they have over their lives through their actions/thoughts, the more control the player has over achieving their "peak performance".
Attitudes. Successful players make things happen through a positive mental attitude versus hoping and waiting for something/anything to happen.  Successful players know they control their lives, the learn to make things happen instead of wondering what happened.
