Personally, I always remind myself that both my opponent and I are human; nothing is special about either of us. My victories are due to a conventional combination of knowledge, technical accuracy, experience, and practice, not because I overwhelmed my opponent with my greatness. Win or lose, one of us did what needed to be done, and as a result beat the other. Never forget that in any contest, one side continued to do a perfectly normal thing, and as a result was able to win this one time.
Remind yourself the only difference
