Under Pressure

In the irreverent football movie, The Replacements, Coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman) tells Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves), "Winners want the ball."

Winners play for the moment, relish the challenge. A former MVB standout described the playoffs as "the best time of the year." 

Weisinger and Pawliw-Fry wrote in Performing Under Pressure, to develop a "COTE of armor" of confidence, optimism, tenacity, and enthusiasm. Yogi Berra described it another way, "90 percent of baseball is half mental." 


"Don't calm down; get excited."
