I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times
I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and
over and over gain in my life –and that is why I succeed.
~ Michael Jordan
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal and then leap in the dark
to our success.

When it comes to choking, the bottom line is that everyone does it. The question
isn’t whether you choke or not, but how –when you choke –you are going to handle
it. Choking is a big part of every sport, and a part of being a champion is being
able to cope with it better than everyone else.
~ John McEnroe
