Today, I am getting the opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I will try to continue to see this as a gift and an opportunity. I enjoy doing this and I am grateful for every minute I get to play. My gratitude was the thing that fueled me to play like I did yesterday. Luckily, this is something in my control depending on how I view my training.

I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to be appreciative of everything I have been given. I will be completely locked in and I will show how important this is to be.

My coaching voice will remind me that while I can't control situations, I can control how I think of them and how I act on them. I am going to think in the context of fun and enjoyment, and my nerves will go away. I will only think of how happy I am to get this opportunity. Gratitude might be the biggest key factor to me dealing with my nerves.
