I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

I don’t trust anyone who’s nice to me but rude to the waiter. Because they would treat me the same way if I were in that position.
There is always a bigger fish.
Sportsmanship for me is when a player leaves the field and you can’t tell if the player has won or lost. When the player exudes pride regardless of the result.
