His advice is to focus on the effort not the achievement. You can control your effort, but sometimes the achievement or outcomes are not always what we expected. The other guy might just win but we can still feel good about our performance if we gave it 100%.

I work with athletes occasionally and one thing I remind them of after a loss is that their concern should be on their level of performance, not on the outcome. The only thing you CAN control is yourself.
