Imo, if you prepare to fail, you've already lost. You should be at ease with failure. If you are prepared to fail, likely you won't be your best or think well, I'm only going to fail anyways.

The best tennis players have only won slightly more then 50% of all points. They aren't prepared to fail, they are prepared to take risks and chances on points and back themselves to win.

Prepare to win, be at ease with failure

Very valid point, we shouldn't settle for or expect failure.

By 'prepare', I am not referring to the work you put in before but to a mental acceptance of failure, being 'ok' with failing. Our mindset should be one hungry for success, but not be distraught at failure.
