In order for him to be as great as he is he automatically has to display two of the following habits of mind: managing impulsivity and striving for accuracy and precision. In order for him to hit the golf ball into the hole he has to take his time and aim for exactness. He has to put thought into which angle he needs to hit from and also how much power he needs to use when swinging the club. “His work ethic, in the gym and on the practice range, is responsible for the hardened pectorals and diminished social lives of his competitors” (Owen, 2006).  Another habit of mind he used/ uses is applying past knowledge to new situations. “When his career began, he was notable for the educated respect he paid to his athletic forebears--Nicklaus, mainly, but also Palmer, Hogan, Nelson, Jones and others, whose battlefield tactics he had studied since childhood, and whose deadliest weapons he has borrowed for his own arsenal” (Owen, 2006). Woods studied these athletes and their strategies and tricks. He has used what he learned in his own competitions and it has helped him reach his peak. These tactics have helped him to win against his competitors.

In order for her to be successful in the sport that she plays she has to display one of the 16 Habits Of Mind. The habit of mind that Serena Williams Displayed was Thinking Flexibility. She had to think differently when it came to a lot of things, not just tennis. Serena Williams has faced many challenges and obstacles to get where she is today.  There were times Serena Williams was told that the outfit she was competing in was the wrong color. So in that case she used her flexible thinking and decide to get one that was brighter. There were also times where she was questioned about her hair, But she never let that stop her. " When they questioned the style or texture of her hair she changed it again; and when they told her that her beautiful black body was too masculine, she got stronger and won even more titles." (Henry, 2022). When people tried to bring her down she always thought of a way to overcome what people were saying to her and about her. Serena Williams always found a way to win even when challenges and obstacles were thrown her way. She continued to make history even when people doubted her.
