It’s easy to focus on winning but I think have to focus more on how not to lose than you do on how to win.

Because how not to lose is more controllable than how to win.

When you’re trying to win championships you can’t focus on winning championships. You have to focus on what goes into the process of winning but also how can you prevent losing by doing the things that are simplest to do under high duress.
