Whatever gets the group going, I guess.
A British swimmer was talking to the Guardian last week about how he attributes their recent success to adopting a gold or nothing mentality. He said previously they applauded anyone qualifying to the finals but they changed the culture to define success as winning, which worked.

I guess it’s a bad culture where the country expects gold, anything less is a failure.
Terrible mentality but I guess when you’ve been winning all the time, you expect this to be the norm.
Reminds me of the article this morning I read about China and how they feel they let their country down by getting sliver. Wasn’t helped by the internet trolls either.
