I think the Apostle Paul put it best
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control,[a] lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
If you put it in a secular way I suppose it would be about making sure you leave everything out on the field. Make sure that you are on your death bed with zero regrets. Make sure that you can give account (even to yourself/loved ones) that you did everything you could.
Very wise. As long as you give things your best effort, and you know it, then does the outcome really matter as much?
