Tainted Victory: Rot Gut Victory: (Unedited): 26 Oct 2013:

The inadequate and dis-honorable opponent may resort to cheating and steroid use. Just to gain a tainted victory. 

 C.J.MacKechnie

===================================================

A tainted victory may be very sweet when tasted in celebration. But, over time it sours the stomach and rots the gut. 

 C.J.MacKechnie

===================================================
How do you define a victory? Is it by the score, only when the clock reaches zero.
Can there be more to a victory? A average player or a team of average players working as a cohesive team can defeat the superior players, when they do everything correct in their form of perfection attained.
Can a victory or even a loss become defining moments in players lives? Players who get away with cheating or by
using self destructive products of steroids and other components. Steels away the defining moments that other players may have. Thus, leads to a tainted victory. A tainted victory in the long term is more destructive to the cheater than for the one who was cheated. 
Can there be dishonor in a victory or loss? Take for instance Jon Gruden who wears the super bowl ring that should have been Tony Dungy's. This cloud will forever be around Jon Gruden. Including how Jon Gruden was possibly used by the ownership to replace their black Tony Dungy. The cloud of racism historically hangs over the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Sloppy Intimidation: (Unedited): 26 Oct 2013:

Psychological Intimidation may cause your opponent to create more errors and to be more sloppy. 

C.J.MacKechnie

====================================================
The fear of another can cause you to make many sloppy mistakes.  When you become more concerned with the better player than you are for how you are playing. Your defeat is more assured as well as the long lasting psychological affects of the defeat. Which was made worse through your own unprepared and undisciplined mind.

Prior to the game. Improve your power and speed. Improve the perfection of your skills. Improve your ability to focus and your ability to pay attention to the details. This is the best you can do. So do the best you can do.
Even if the predictions are that you wont score even a single point. Score that point and then the next. In doing so. You have attained victory by doing that which was formerly impossible for you.

All was Impossible,

 is what you were,

 as you begin to think about yourself as

 I'M POSSIBLE

99.9% of every game played is spent in the gym, on the track, in the pool, in your study of the game,your meditation on game play, Your perfected perfection of the game and your love for the game.

Intimidating Fear: (Unedited): 26 Oct 2013:

Effective intimidation causes your opponent to fear you before your arrival. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===================================================
The psychological effects of playing against a better team with better players can be very tough to overcome. You must not accept absolute defeat before the game even starts. To do so, lessens you and your quality of play.
Instead do these things. Practice perfection more. Improve your skills at all levels. Manage the threats presented before you. Be smart and play with honor and respect.
Force your better opponent to earn their victory. By doing so gains you respect and honor.
Do not allow any bad decisions tarnish their victory. Let it be pure.

By you pushing your opponent to be better. Your opponent will be pulling you to be better. Thus, both of you will mutually benefit from the actions of one another. Though you may lose the game. The great challenge you have faced , is in itself your victory.

Better faster: (Unedited): 27 Jan 2013:

Always challenging yourself against a superior opponent. Causes you to become better quicker than your opponent will with you. C.J.MacKechnie

=============================================================
So you lose all of the time. The person who always beats you may boast and even ridicule you for trying. Let him run his or her mouth. It is OK. Because while the superior person may be playing at only half of their skill or less. You are playing at or beyond your maximum skill level or potential.

I tell you the truth. This prideful person who is superior than you is better for you than someone whom you have a probability of defeating. You can learn from no one better. Keep your focus and keep your Wit.           " Your wit can only expand when you never quit." C.J.MacKechnie

Never give up.
Never give in.
Never quit.
