And that's the feeling I don't like is not being confident in what you're doing.
It makes you second guess everything.
It's the worst feeling.
And so I recognized that's what was happening.
I'm like, I'm not doing a whole other season like this.
Like is that the worst mentally that I've been since I started playing?
No, I mean, I do just like everyone.
I think it like comes and goes.
But for me, being able to recognize it is like great for me because I feel myself like especially you get that like midseason slump where you're not in the gym the same because you're tired.
You're going from game to game.
You're not getting in the same reps.
So like you feel less confidence.
Like when you don't study for a test, you go and you're anxious because you don't know anything.
When I when you study, you go in anxious.
I feel great so mid-season where it's like you're just in the dead of everything you're not practicing as much I don't feel as confident and I'm able to recognize that and then I'm like okay I need to get in reps in so I'm not feeling this way in the game because I'll have a game where like I'm hesitating before I shoot or I'm like should I and that's when I'm in my worst spot is when honestly when I'm thinking like that and so yeah just making sure that I'm aware of when I'm feeling that way.
I honestly think it's both.
I recognize I'm very skilled.
I'm an athlete.
I'm a very skilled athlete.
Can I run the fastest?
