Of course, there are plenty of reasons that you’d want an athlete to have a longer memory – memorizing strategies, recalling lessons learned in training and practice and so on. However, the conventional wisdom still holds true: the best athletes have a short memory.
But how an athlete carries themselves and moves on after a mistake is important. The best athletes don’t dwell on the negative aspects of their mistake.
