Stay focused.//
Relax.//
You might be surprised/that even world-class athletes/get nervous and lose confidence.//
Roger Federer/is one of the greatest tennis players of all time.//
He is the winner/of 20 Grand Slam tournaments.//
You might think/that he would have no problems/keeping up his self-confidence.//
You would be wrong.//
Roger Federer/is sometimes plagued with negative thoughts.//
He was playing a match/which he had perfectly prepared for,/yet somehow he was losing.//
When asked how he felt,/he said,/“No matter how positive you are,/you just see negativity/flying all around you.”//
So what is his advice?//
Accept all the difficult thoughts and feelings/and just stay focused on the game.//
Usain Bolt, the Jamaican sprinter/who is considered the fastest man in the world,/knows the key to staying focused:/Just relax.//
Bolt says,/“I try to be myself,/just be relaxed,/and be a fun person.//
I try to find somebody who I know,/try to talk and laugh and just relax/and not think about anything else.”//
