ABSTRACT
An athlete who consistently excels in a particular sport may be described as having “good control” in that he exhibits the ability to coordinate his resources—speed, power, agility, and skill—with the rules of the sport in a manner that results in victory most of the time. The word “control,” therefore, can be closely associated with the word “success,” at least in this limited context: the athlete who controls the environment of his sport frequently wins, while the one who does not control the environment rarely wins.
