They can completely knock the athlete out of his stride or, at the very least, create distraction and doubt. This chapter presents a way of analysing and preparing for difficult conditions. It also presents a list of competitive conditions and for each condition the individual athlete is asked to consider: the most challenging possibility; the best way of preparing for the eventuality; and how the condition might serve as an advantage. Some possibilities the athlete might consider in preparing for eventualities include: simulation, visualization, and developing strategies. The will to win emphasize a commitment to address six further eventualities – unfavourable living conditions; decisions going against athletes; odds not in their favour; difficult opponent's styles; falling behind; and the final effort. A final and special aspect of resourcefulness is the ability to cope effectively with injury the curse of the modern athlete at all levels.
