We may have to modify who we are and how we are, in order to face the new realities. We must strive to find opportunity in adversity. Of course, all of this is easier said than done. In this article I have highlighted five key principles of mental toughness and resilience.

I was astounded by the great Kenenisa Bekele's statement after losing out to a Kenyan clean sweep today in the Edinburgh International cross country athletics race. "I am not in good shape," he said, in an interview with BBC Sport. "I arrived three days before the race and I could not train because of the snow. I missed two or three training sessions."

As you'd expect with the PGA tour's #1 draw and one of the greatest sportsmen of all time, speculation continues as to the timing of Tiger Woods' return to competitive golf. I'm not going to add to the speculation, but offer an observation about what might determine whether that return is successful or not.

Rob Robson on 01 Jan 10

this time of year, many people are planning on over-indulgence, eating too much, drinking perhaps a little more than is wise. And we hear the refrain, "I'll make my resolution to change in the new year". But, habits are difficult things. Most often the term is associated in a derogatory sense. i.e. these are bad habits. Any smoker will tell you! There are good habits of course, but for the moment, let's work on the basis that the habitual way you are playing includes some bad habits that you'd like to be rid of.

So who do you think said that? Those of you that listen to Radio 4 (in the UK) might know already. The rest of you might be surprised to hear that it was Joey Barton, Newcastle United's "bad boy". Barton was interviewed this morning because Tony Adams, former Arsenal and England Captain and founder of the Sporting Chance clinic, was the guest editor. Barton attended the Sporting Chance clinic to learn anger management.

Unless you follow Scottish football, or are Leicester City fan, you're unlikely to know much about Craig Levein. But the Dundee United manager is a leading contender for the vacant position of Scotland's football manager. I was interested to note that his main concern the role was that he might get bored with the lack of day-to-day management required by the role

Last night British boxer David Haye beat 7 foot Russian Nikolay Valuev to claim the WBA Heavyweight title, in a fight that was marketed as "David versus Goliath". The fight itself was fascinating, Haye's victory the result of a perfectly executed fight plan - though deliberately tweaked to accommodate a broken hand sustained early in the fight (from the Russian's big hard head!
