Entrenched on the wisdom of geology the four C's are delineated in terms of crystal, carat, clarity and color.This is the globally accepted standard for describing diamonds. Today, the four C's of diamond quality is the universal method for assessing the quality of any diamond, anywhere in the world. In marketing, specialists have adopted the four C's marketing mix.
The model looks at the marketing from the customer's point of View, thus, convenience, cost, communication and customer. “Queen”is also conceptualized in dialectical conclusions. On one hand, someone whose specific frame of reference is a royal family perceives queen as “royal highness On the other hand, in chess “queen” is a powerful piece in terms of moves.
The science of psychology is not spared the liberty of using the four C's approach in explaining sport concepts. A generous reading of the competitiveness of sports in the contemporary society clearly entails that there's increased stress that can cause athletes to react both physically and mentally in a manner that can negatively affect their performance abilities. They may become tense. Their heart rates race, they worry about the outcome of the competition thereby finding it hard to concentrate on the task in hand.

In light of the above, coaches are compelled by a sense of duty to increase interest in the field of sport psychology and in particular in the area of competitive anxiety. Because every sporting game is a multifaceted discipline, psychology is another weapon in the athlete's armory in gaining the winning edge.
Concentration, confidence, control and commitment (the Four C's) are generally considered the main mental qualities that are important for successful performance in most sports. In order to address justice to the demands of the phenomenon in question, this piece will delve much on the first “C” (concentration). Ideally, concentration is the ability to maintain focus on the task in hand. Paucity in this mental quality translates an athlete to fall short of the abilities to be applied on the task effectively and efficiently.

Since there's no homogeneity in all sporting disciplines, the demand for concentration differs. For instance, intense concentration is needed for sprinting events, bobsleigh and skiing. Cricket, golf, shooting and athletic field events call for short bursts of concentration whereas sustained concentration goes for distance running, cycling, tennis and squash.
Athletes may have the desire to maintain focus on the task in hand but many a timeperturbations derail them from the spore. In this vein, common distractions are mistakes, weather, anxiety, public announcements, coach, manager, supporters, negative thoughts, social life only but to mention a few. For an athlete to achieve the desired goal, highest degree of concentration must be maintained. Accordingly, strategies to improve concentration are an individuality matter. During the course of competition an athlete will be charged with the responsibility for setting process goals. Process goals aid an athlete to focus on specific aspects of the task.

To win in every competition, it is imperative for athletes to take up the foregoing mental quality. Relegating it at the background, one can do at their own peril. Toward this end, it could be cogently certified that there's no substitute for skill. The intrigue question is; what do you associate success or a win with? Some coaches and athletes are reconciled to the idea of using juju (talisman), and all sorts of luck charms solicited from traditional healers and prophets of doom.
Upon reflection however, a lapse in concentration even for a well oiled team can cause a grave damage.The science of psychology details that winning a competition in sport is a by product of implementing mental qualities appropriately.Therefore, it seems logical to suggest that concentration is an indispensable condition for every athlete in a competitive discipline.
