Bill Cole Interview - Sharks look
to emulate Wings, who also struggled to win Cup
(May 7, 2010)
Bill Cole was recently interviewed by the Detroit News about
the San Jose Sharks NHL playoff in hockey. Bill explains how
athletes often do not realize they are resisting their best
performances, perhaps out of fear that their best will not
attain a goal, or out of fear of success itself. This can
be a subconscious withdrawal, where they hold themselves back
from achieving, by not giving themselves permission to win.
