Would an inclusion of something along the lines of "OWN your failure and LEARN from your failure" be worth including?
As well as:
Acceptance of, or comfort with, ambiguity?
Put effort(where possible) into your mental/emotional/social conditioning as you do your physical conditioning?

There is a huge difference between quitting and failing.
If you start rationalizing or excusing your failure before it has occured, that is not helpful.
The mind is to the body as two is to one, grasshopper.
Total dedication to the cause will carry you farther than you might imagine.
