In racing, I think we face this juxtaposition a lot, often in settings that can elicit high emotion.We’re passionate about what we're doing.We put a lot of time & work into it.We’ve typically got aspirations surrounding competition.We’ve often got an expectations - both about our performance and how things will go in general.And, occasionally (perhaps more often than not), something doesn’t align w/ those expectations!How we deal with that, I'd argue impacts not only our peace of mind, but ultimately our ability to perform.
