You can't let the highs get too high and you can't let the lows get too low. — © Heather O'Reilly
You can't let the highs get too high and you can't let the lows get too low.
My best career moments have come being a fan first. Because that's why we love sports, and that's why I got into sports - those highs and lows on that roller coaster ride that I don't want to get off - because I enjoy the highs as much as I enjoy the lows. The highs are even better when you experience the lows, and that can apply when rooting for your favorite sports team or your career. It's also important not to get too high or too low, and it's also important not to listen to the noise. You just have to do it for you in those career moments because they're gonna come.
I try not to get too high off the highs or too low off the lows.
There are going to be highs and lows throughout a career, and you have to try and level it out. Don't get too high and carried away when things are going well, but don't get too low when things aren't happening.
Their highs are too low and their lows are too high.
You just have to stay the course, you can't get too high or too low on yourself. There is always going to be those highs and those lows, but you have to stay even keel yourself.
I really don't (stay calm) all the time. I just try to. Part of not just racing but in life, I try not to let the highs be too high and the lows be too low. I try to stay somewhere right in the middle. In racing it's not always easy to do. You can get too excited or overconfident when things are going good and it's easy to get too far in the ditch when things are going bad.
Your highs can't be too high, and your lows can't be too low, because you have to pick back up and move on.
I try to let my highs not be too high and my lows not be too low. And I do that just because I try to control my emotions.
You have to deal with your emotions and not spike too much on the graph - not get too elated with the highs or too down with the lows.
I think you have to see the high highs and the low lows to get to the core of what makes us tick as people.
It's never going to be a smooth sailing ship, there's going to be ups and downs and I think one of the most important things to understand is not to ride the highs too high and ride the lows too low - it is a marathon and if you can just try to steady the ship as you go.
One of my strengths is I have a pretty even temperament. I don't get too high when it's high and I don't get too low when it's low. And what I found during the course of the presidency, and I suppose this is true in life, is that investments and work that you make back here sometimes take a little longer than the 24-hour news cycle to bear fruit.
I don't take success very well, because I know it's fleeting. And the next day, it can all fall apart. I know that, too. So I don't get too high, and I don't get too low. You get through the world a lot easier that way.
You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.
You want to stay even-keel. When you get too high, when you get too low, that's when things tend to go wrong.
I've tried to dial my emotions down: not get too high, not get too low, try to find that even-keel tennis.
