Yeah, your downfall sometimes is just like doing too much, trying to do too much, trying to take on too much by yourself can obviously be detrimental. So competitiveness is like a very important thing, but it also needs to be finely tuned. Right, but how? Other than just like... being better, making more shots.

Yeah, because my best performances were always just flowing. Like, you know, they talk about getting to that state, right? Like, that's how it feels. It truly feels like you're just like, it's slow motion. You're just doing like you're... You're going through all these things that you've worked on thousands and thousands of hours.

And when you think too much, I always found it was because I was like, I wanted this so badly. Like, I wanted to do this. I wanted to score this. I wanted to...

uh accomplish whatever like thing that goal i had set out for and when i just let the game come to me which is a very hard thing to do to just relax yeah and over time as i got older it was much easier um but early on you know you're always pressing for sure and it like it almost never works It can work just because we're all so, this is our job.
