FastSaying

I don't get all wound up. I accept things as they come. I've always stressed moderation. I never got too high or too low. I think it helps being on an even keel. It was the same way with our players. I never wanted any excessive celebration if we outscored someone in a game or excessive dejection if we didn't. If you can stick to it, it helps.
