There’s this one book where there is a list of top-level athletes who have performed amazingly when they are most stressed, pressured, tensed, tight, worried and nervous.

I have one more tool that is going to help you deal with your difficult emotions, and that is what I call, “The and World.” 

What does this mean? “And” means “I can be scared.” “I can be nervous.” You can even say that, “I can be angry.”

You know when you got a bad call or a non call that should’ve been called by the opponent. So anger can sometimes create interference because you are too angry to even play smart. 

You end up fouling or getting off your strategy of what you are supposed to do out there because all you can think about is getting even with your opponent.
