Olympic gold medal winner Abhinav Bindra narrowly lost a position on the podium at Rio. Tremors due to epilepsy, diagnosed in 2014, had caused him to drop and break the sight of his rifle, minutes from the event. But he refuses to blame either his broken rifle, or his neurological condition for the loss. “An athlete is not scared of failure or of doing badly,” he says, “an athlete Is scared of regret. And I have no regrets because I put my best into it.”
My Take: To deal with failure is to move from regret to reflection and from paralysis to analysis.
What's your take?
