Thanks Ilia :)

Hey Andrey I'd say you should be able to mentally picture loss without losing confidence in yourself, just as you can mentally picture spraining your ankle without becoming more likely to sprain it. Negative visualisation is about preparing yourself mentally so you don’t collapse or freak out in situations, and you don’t need to dwell on these topics for long to be prepared for them, you just need to consider them. Also, I’d say that if you’re practising visualisation as a means to improve performance, then what you should be visualising is the process of fighting itself, not the winning; how you are going to fight and how you are going to counter different moves. That’s what’s valuable and it’s also all that’s in your control. As such taking a moment to visualise how a gracious loser would conduct themselves as well will not interfere with it.
