You have something that drives you, and everyone needs something to drive them, or else you're not going to get the things done that you want to get done.
Well, I've been playing football for so long, I always had the pressure on me.
Every day I stepped out, whether it's practice or game, I had to catch every pass on my way.
And that's a lot of pressure being great.
My coach came up to me one day.
He said, you can't have a bad practice.
You can't have a bad practice.
I accepted it.
I embraced it.
I understood the importance of what it tells me is that it doesn't matter.
You can't think about failing.
Failure is a good thing.
If you fail, you get back up.
You dust yourself off and it makes you better.
It makes you stronger.
It makes you think about not doing that one thing again.
And it does something to you.
And when I understand that, I understand that pressure is nothing.
It's just the word.
It's just something that's there.
