| Finding Murray's magic: Ability to manage goals makes an athlete successful Posted: 24 Jun 2013 04:58 AM PDT Research suggests that it is Andy Murray's ability to manage his goals, as well as his skill, determination and motivation that makes him such a successful athlete. Murray dropped out of the French Open after a back injury this year, missing out on his goal of playing in four grand slam finals in a row. But this decision has allowed him to recuperate in time for Wimbledon this month. According to new research, athletes who recognize early when a goal is unattainable and switch their focus to other objectives are the most successful at achieving their main career goals.  |
