Make sure you don’t get to the end of your career wishing you had worked harder or appreciated your sport more. Make sure you’re doing everything possible to be the best you can be in every moment because when it’s over you will constantly think of how “good” you could have been.

In pressure situations, view your nervousness as excitement. Instead of being nervous about what could go wrong, be excited about what could go right. This helps you channel your adrenaline in a positive direction.
