The Winning Game gives users the same mental model and equips them with the
same set of strategies for winning used by professional executives, athletes, fighter pilots and other high pressure, success oriented people.
The Winning Game helps people in all walks of life to maximise their potential, while promoting greater self-confidence, leadership, motivation and success.
To assess the current state of the player by analysing skills, their thinking pattern and behaviours.
To instil within the player the key attributes required to develop winning behaviour.
To reinforce and practice the development of the winning skills and behaviours and helps translate these to everyday life – work and social.
The Winning Game helps people to develop:
A systematic thinking pattern (i.e. deliberate thinking under pressure).
The ability to continually learn and improve on their own.
A systematic approach to debriefing and an understanding of the benefits of this approach.
An appreciation of the dynamics behind success and the ability to create a framework to maximise personal potential.
The game also helps people:
Make the correct decisions within the optimal timeframe.
Cope better in pressure situations by:
Reinforcing the message “you have more time than you think”.
Mobilising the T-CUP rules to nullify negative thinking.
Cope with psychological barriers - "no one can excel in all areas; yet everyone can learn, practice and improve anything they touch".
However, the Winning Game does not seek to teach the ‘specifics’ of dealing with every particular pressure situation; rather it equips the user with the generic skill set that only winners possess, thereby allowing them to use these skills very effectively in a myriad of anticipated and unanticipated pressure events which occur in the individual’s own life.

An in-game coach provides instant feedback and suggestions for improvement, combined with an intelligent debriefing and assessment system for identifying your own strengths and weaknesses – all of which is based on the Winning Theory.
Winners stick to basics by memorising the fundamental building blocks of their field of activity to overcome any psychological barriers and by not experimenting during critical moments.
Winners maintain momentum by keeping the same level of performance throughout an activity, avoiding complacency and by securing their actual achievements before moving on to their next goal.
Winners patiently create opportunities by investing the time to lay the foundations for their success, even if it is boring, tedious or repetitive.
Winners are aware of faulty tactics by never being afraid to say "Winners make mistakes but they never repeat them", not falling in love with their ideas and through constant debriefing.
Winners maintain self control by reminding themselves that under pressure there is more time than they feel, adhering to T-CUP rules when negative thinking occurs and by being a noble winner.
Winners are being thorough by becoming practical perfectionists, striving for perfect results yet going for the best possible ones. They avoid short cuts by being strict and orderly in completing tasks.
Winners avoid unnecessary corners by mapping these corners against their given activity and constantly debriefing (by asking "am I trapping myself in a corner?" and "is this a corner?").
Winners stick to proven tactics by resisting any temptation to change a proven method with something new, however creative it may be.
Winners are managing their time by being continually aware of the available timeframe, prioritising their tasks and splitting large tasks into small chunks whilst committing to any deadlines.
Winners maintain their quality of counter pressure by correctly identifying the nature of any one-on-one situation they are involved with and by countering pressure with will power.
Winners seize opportunities by acting decisively during critical moments within the available timeframe.
Winners are being decisive by moving fast enough between making a decision and actualising it and by quickly prioritising their options against their "corners" to avoid them.
