Transcript

Today, I am going to be training. I anticipate having some emotional challenges as I have a tournament tomorrow. However, I will remind myself that the tournament is only an opportunity to grow. I had a terrible tournament last weekend, and although it sucked that it went that way, it was not the end of the world. I will train hard today and be confident that it doesn't matter how the tournament goes. I anticipate dealing with cold and windy conditions, but it's not supposed to rain. I will not complain about the conditions - that won't do anything. I will accept the conditions, play the wind, and accept the cold.
