This quote means to me that if we do not focus 100% of our energy we are going to fail 100% of the time.
ReplyDeleteI think the most direct way to relate this to any situation is that everyday you should be focused on everything you do (especially a job or school) and make it the best you can and if you give 99% but leave out just 1% it can totally change (mostly negatively) how something turns out.
ReplyDeleteEverything you do must be to your absolute best effort, or 100%, and if it isn't, you are almost garaunteed to fail.

Lots of things in life are like juggling, one little slip up and everything falls down around you.

ReplyDeleteI think that the whole team has to give 100% on and off the field because if you lose just a little focus in a game, you are going to fail. I think this applies to our past 2 games. We start out with 100% concentration but soon after we lose just a little concentration and the other team scores because we lost the concentration. So, if we all contribute 100%, we will win.

ReplyDeleteIf we don't concentrate 100% of the time, we will most likely fail. So, to eliminate mental errors, we need to concentrate 100% of the time.

ReplyDeleteIf you're not concentrating 100%, you most likely won't be playing 100%, so you would be failing. You would be failing because you aren't succeeding individually or as a team when you aren't playing 100%, no matter the score.

ReplyDeleteKeep your heads up and keep working hard.
If you don't stay 100% concentrated you can do something bad and your playing may suffer.
ReplyDeleteThis quote means to me that if your not 100% concentrated during anything that you won't perform up to your ability.
ReplyDeleteSorry guys, I thought I had it working last night but I guess it didn't.
like in everything you do in life school or just being committed if your not 100% there you might be fine for a while but when it comes down to pressure moments you wont accomplish anything

ReplyDeleteI think "99% concentration equals 100% failure" means that if you are not giving your 100% concentration, then you are going to fail. So, you must stay focused during practice, warm-ups, and during your game if you want to win or accomplish your goals.
With everything you do, you need to do with 100% concentration. If you are unfocused for even a little bit you will fail. Unless you want to fail, in which case you will succeed

ReplyDeleteThis quote means to me that if you don't put all your focus and all your drive into what you do, you will never be sure what could have happened if you did put all you had into that one thing. If you do put all you have into what you do, you never have to ask yourself that question: "What if?"
