Why does caring less about winning sometimes help you win?

If you care too much, it stresses you out - affecting sleep, appetite, and performance. Obviously if you care too little you will not even train. The paradox is you want to compete and want to win, but you cannot care so much that it stresses you out. The more you let go of attachment to winning while keeping attachment to performing your best, the more likely you are to win.
