“Stoicism is the distinction between what you
can control and what you can’t,” Holiday said.
“That’s probably the hardest idea of pro
sports—that you have to detach yourself from
the results and focus exclusively on what you
do and do it well. You can’t get mad about
missing the shot, or losing a game, or calls
that went against you. You have to focus on
what you were supposed to do and whether
you did it right.” – Ryan Holiday – The
Obstacle Is The Way- Sports Illustrated

Douglas told ESPN in June that she
visualizes each routine before it
happens to mentally prepare herself to
deliver a perfect performance. When
trying out for the 2012 Olympic team,
Douglas said “I visualized the floor
set I wanted to do, and then I went out
and hit the best floor routine of my
life. It proved to me just how
powerful my mind can be.”
