Don't be your childhood traumas. You will learn as an athlete and I learned this and there's a phrase I'm going to use just in a second when I'm playing football soccer. And it's don't let your own speed beat you. So if you run too fast towards the subject, the object that you're trying to get, then your own speed, and football over pursuit.
