Redefine winning as winning the battle with yourself

Rotella wants players to redefine winning as winning the battle with themselves rather than by the scoreboard. The self-assessment asks whether you got your head in the right place, did your routine like you said you would before you started, and didn't let anything bother or upset you once you got on the course. If you can say yes, you can walk off feeling like a winner whether or not you actually won.
