I have adrenaline going and then focus on what I have to do and do it well. I know we'll have a good chance to win the match that way. I don't concern myself with the other team.

I don't have to get myself pumped up or calm myself down. As we get into the later rounds of a tournament and there is more at stake, I have even more adrenaline. If we make the finals, it's just an extra opportunity to win a tournament at my age. That doesn't come along that often.

Playing against better competition makes you better and more focused, so you can do what you have to, to win.

When you’ve done everything you can to train yourself for competition, you’ll sleep well when the tournament is over, win or lose.
