“When one of the British athletes says he thinks he has a chance, I notice he usually wins,” says a London writer. This remark was made during the Olympic Games by one of the leading United States athletic coaches, and it is not only a compliment to our cracks, but significant of British methods. No one likes the boastful athlete, who is well understood that expressions of confidence are sometimes part of a well-thought-out plan. Practically every prominent professional boxer says he is fit to fight for his life and confident of winning on the eve of any big match. To a lesser degree, it applies to athletics, and there is no merit in decrying one’s chances. This, however, is something different from the general attitude of the average British crack ■when competing at the Olympic Games, and what the American athletic coach meant was that the judgment of our men is good and that they understood the ability of the opposition and their own capabilities. There is much in this, for when an athlete realises his task and has clear ideas as to what is required, he can think out a plan most likely to lead to victory.
