  • “People that talk to the sports psychiatrists and stuff like that, they label us ‘soft.’ We’ve seen that in the past, like, ‘Oh, man, I’m having anxiety.’ ‘Man, you’re soft. Go deal with that.’ That’s how it’s labeled. That’s why it’s hard for people to talk to somebody and open up. Even for me, it was extremely tough.”

  • “I do a lot of meditation. A lot of meditation. That’s the first thing I do in the morning. I get up. I make my bed. That’s kind of another thing I saw from a Navy SEAL said he made his bed every morning, it’s like your first win of the day."

  • "The foundation of performing under pressure is balance. It’s not some kind of killer instinct or some great ability to handle psychological pressure. It comes from how you are balanced in life. One of the greatest errors athletes make is when their self-worth is determined by where your name appears on the medal list."

    Abhinav Bindra, Olympic Gold Medalist
