If the opponent was like stepping on my toes and trying to bully me, I was going really hard and I was going against it.
But in the end, after a period, I started to think about that and then it made sense to me.
I was like, okay, the reaction I have, I shouldn't have that reaction.
I shouldn't go against it.
I should stand above it.
So that is like a process of a couple of years.
Because if I go against it, then it's such a struggle.
I was just like mentally, physically, I was drained after every match for quite a long time, from the age of 23 to 26, roughly there.
I was just knackered after every game.
I was talking to my wife actually about it.
I was like...
I was telling her that it cost me so much energy, like every game.
And then she said, OK, but you have to find a way to make that less because then it becomes more...
enjoyable everything and I said yeah but how and then we spoke about that and then I realized that I was like constantly fighting you know and then she made one comment like yeah but you have to choose your battle I was like yeah you know I don't want to fight these small battles I want to go for bigger ones you know
So then I said, okay, what if I, and as well, I was, if I missed a chance, for example, that's a process as well.
I was very emotional after I missed a chance.
I was like constantly, ah, no, and showing the world how disappointed I was.
And then at one point I was like, yeah, but that's weakness somewhere.
Because then the opponent sees that I'm disappointed and that I'm not happy with myself.
So I slowly started to change that.
