The Fear Of Winning Rather Than Losing

While players often talk about the fear of losing as motivation--I frequently find that it is the fear of winning that often prevents people from attaining their goals. The changes that people experience when they are successful are just as disconcerting as when they are not successful.

For example, after winning the World Series the lives of the White Sox's players and management for that matter, have been indelibly and drastically changed. Winning brings many different opportunities and a different level of scrutiny then the players were previously used to. Their fans' expectations have also changed, as has the perceived emotional-personal dynamic between the players and their fans.

It has been my experience that many people are not ready for this--change. However it is one of the important and necessary precursors to advancement and winning.
