The article by Sutton discusses individuals’ ability to condition themselves to better learning. If an individual is not confident and has doubts about their abilities to study, they will not do well at it. This goes for any task but is particularly true of competitive sports. Competitiveness is necessary to succeed at anything. None should be afraid of it. If you are you will fail. Competing in any sport requires positive reinforcement. Coach should be very positive and if not you will fail. This translates into working world also. If a manager tells employees that they are not good at particular task they will not even try to do it right. If their boss says that he or she is sure that they will do just fine then employee will certainly try hard to meet the expectations. Challenging yourself in anything will help you get better at it. Even if you don’t think well of yourself and if you are not as smart as others around you, you must work on it and you will change your level of intelligence. The more you do it the better you get at it, no matter what you are working on.
