This reflects a broader principle that one cannot possess both emotions simultaneously, as fear can hinder performance while gratitude fosters a positive mindset. The speaker applies this lesson in their approach to competition, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a championship mentality rather than focusing on past failures. By reframing their thoughts to prioritize gratitude, they create a mental space that fosters confidence and focus going into their matches.
