Superstars think like superstars long before the fans or the press anoint them.

Overachievers don't think reasonably, sensibly, or rationally.

High achievers dwell on what they do well and spend very little time evaluating themselves and their performances.

The physical symptoms of fight or flight are what the human body has learned over thousands of years to operate efficiently and at the highest level...anxiety is a cognitive interpretation of that physical response.

As soon as anyone starts telling you to be "realistic," cross that person off your invitation list.

The true exceptional performer is on super pilot. Every single sense, every fiber of his body is brought together in what he is doing.

The top players in every field think differently when all the marbles are on the line. Great performers focus on what they are doing, and nothing else...They let it happen, let it go. They couldn't care less about the results.
