"I’m not afraid to make a mistake. Too many times in life people are afraid to make a mistake and are not very aggressive. I never panic. I never feel pressure during a game. Ever. It doesn’t make any difference what the magnitude of the game is. It doesn’t make any difference whether we’re winning or losing. When the people around you see that you’re not panicking and that you can handle the pressure, it calms them down. If you know what you’re doing, you don’t feel pressure. Pressure is something that’s self-inflicted. Different people handle it different ways. The key to not letting it get the better of you is preparation. If you’re prepared and know what you’re doing, you should be able to handle the pressure because you should feel confident that you have the answers to the test."From "No Excuses" by Charlie Weis and Vic Carucci
