Mental Skills Training

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu says, “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” This has come to be called the “first victory.” Mental skills training (MST) is learning how to win that first victory.

The Art of War was written in the 6th century BC and is still studied by strategists in war and sport.

Bill Bellichick says that the only sign that he had hanging in the Patriots locker room was a quote from The Art of War, “Every battle is won before it is fought.”
