Famed wrestler and coach Dan Gable emphasizes this point as well. "Focus on what you are doing," he says. "If you're wrestling, then focus on wrestling, not on how you feel." He recounts several instances of finishing a match and wondering, "How did I just do that? I can hardly walk," or "I can't believe how tired I am." He noticed these things only after the job was done. "When you're in the actual situation, focus on what needs to be accomplished," Dan explains. "When your mind starts meandering, that's when you get into trouble. You need to focus on finishing strong."
