I think it's just a matter of matches and then confidence will come with matches.
The only way to get back the confidence is to play and win matches. You can practise as much as you like, but you need confidence that comes from playing and winning matches.
Better grounded emotionally through patience, we become stronger mentally and spiritually, and tend to be healthier physically.
I think I have to be stronger mentally.
Mentally, (consistency) is important when you're not used to rugby at that level. Some of the smaller teams in this tournament are staying with the stronger sides for 60 minutes, but not the full 80 because of it.
Physically and mentally I'm stronger right now because an injury is not playing on my mind all the time.
By doing things when you are too tired, by pushing yourself farther than you thought you could - like running the track after a two-hour practice - you become a competitor. Each time you go beyond your perceived limit, you become mentally stronger.
Now my son Travis wants to finish all of his schooling online and be a full-time actor. I said, 'Hey, it's not all riding bicycles and egging cars and houses. Why don't you go finish the seventh grade, and we'll talk about it later.'
I'm stronger than I think I am. Mentally, physically.
When you have to play a lot of tournaments and you get more experience and you get more confidence playing a lot of matches, and also you get mentally strong.
Definitely I feel with more matches, I'm the type of player I win a match or few matches, then I get confidence right away and then I play better and better.
I never thought I would become that person who loves working out. It sucks while you're doing it, but the second you finish, it's like, 'Wow, I feel great! I'm stronger and much more confident.'
When you have bad moments, you have to improve. You have to become stronger to deal with it, and I believe I have become stronger.
When you're No. 8 in the world, then you start losing some matches, I think it was the first time in my career my confidence went down, and from there it was a downward spiral.
When I listen to my own records, I always think, 'Oh, I could have sung that so much better.' But you have to finish something and turn it in. If I didn't have folks who say, 'Come on, we need the record now,' I probably would never finish one.
Imagine a room awash in gasoline, and there are two implacable enemies in that room. One of them has nine thousand matches. The other has seven thousand matches. Each of them is concerned about who's ahead, who's stronger. Well that's the kind of situation we are actually in. The amount of weapons that are available to the United States and the Soviet Union are so bloated, so grossly in excess of what's needed to dissuade the other, that if it weren't so tragic, it would be laughable. What is necessary is to reduce the matches and to clean up the gasoline.
