But,

I think seeing Steve was more how accepted the role was and the athletes he's dealt with the same problems who are better athletes than us.

We've gone on, you know, if you're dealing with an Olympic athlete who has four years for that one moment, how does he build himself?

How does he deal with the pressure for that one moment that he's been building up for four years?

We're lucky.

We get this week in, week out.

So if we have a bad game on a Saturday, I've got next Saturday to be able to do something about it if I'm lucky enough to play.

These athletes haven't quite got that.

So the composure of trying to find a different mode, but also to be more lenient with yourself and also be more, you're going to make mistakes.

If you build this pressure up, how are you going to play well on a consistent basis?

It isn't going to happen.

And even when I did play well, I didn't enjoy it.

That's what it was, yeah.

It was like, it was, that's why you felt, I felt sometimes, especially with Newcastle, I had to go out for a drink then.

It was because it was relief.

I built all week to this.

And you're just so grateful you won that you were able then to just, you know, unwind.

I don't know if we're going to go on to these questions later.

If there was something I could look back on my career would be to enjoy it more.

To, you know, to not put too much pressure on yourself to, you know, to try and do this.
