Every step along the way, I did feel it, right?

I think it didn't become overwhelming because I trusted my process.

I trusted my routines.

And I took time to, like I said, appreciate every step of the way, every round.

Which was great for me.

And it helped me a ton.

And also just having the perspective of like...

I'm just a dude going out there and trying to put up a zero or just try to get three guys out or four guys out or how many outs I got to get.

And when you think simplistically like that and you allow things to enter your mind in just a very neutral way, stand off the back, take it in, be on the foul line, get introduced and soak it in.

Don't try to block it out.

When you try to block it, you waste energy trying to...

Trying to deflect.

No, don't be the tough guy.

Exactly, and I think there's a way to do that, and it might work for somebody.

It doesn't work for me.

So when you ask me at the very end of, like, we lose, it's like, yeah, I'm devastated.

I'm gutted.

I did all this work to not get to the final part of it, but who am I to sit there and say that this was for nothing?

That's not fair.

What's fair to say is that we put in all the work.
