When a team/individual is goal-oriented, they are focused on completing the smaller tasks that can help them achieve their goal. Professionals who are successful in their fields often goal-oriented. They practice different skills which allows them to set realistic goals for themselves, challenge and attain simple objectives and also track their progress.
One thing that these games have taught us is that it is important to look inwards, see what is not working out and work through it. You cannot blame the other person for putting in more efforts but see how much more you need to work and put in that effort.
In competitive games, having both internal and external motivation enhances the performance of an individual and acts as a guide to their energies.
Grit and mental toughness together makes an athlete better and helps in achieving their goals and even if it is not sports, these also help us in our day to day life and in our workspace.
Being consistent helps you to build confidence, stand out from people and improve yourself in any area of life.
Having a mindset that is focused on growth helps you in taking criticism positively, embracing your failures, seeing situations as a challenge and pushing your own potentials.

Motivation and determination to perform better and win, will help you to achieve success.
