The champion's mind by Jim Afremow. Memorable quotes VII

-I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot. When you think about the consequences, you always think of a negative result. Michael Jordan.
-Rather than trying to perform without fear, strive to perform with confidence.
-Pressure is a privilege, not a problem.
-I just do my best, so there is not pressure.
-Think of this moment as you occasion to thrive. You will either win or learn from your performance.
-Making a portion of practice time pressurized, realistic, and more competitive, help mentally prepare for competition.
-Avoid the under performing by overthinking. Let your body do what you've trained it to do. Get out of your head and get into your performance. Trust that all your skills are right at your fingertips.
-Train it and trust it.
-The first step is to train your talent in practice. The second step is to trust your talent in competition. The third step is to keep repeating the first two steps.
-Trust is a must for peak performance.
