Tell yourself that you will be the best, it isn't ego but a goal for which you will do everything to achieve. You can be anything you want but it requires hard work.

Be grateful about critics, they help you improve. Managing emotions isn't hiding them but feeling them without letting them dictate your behavior. Only take advices from the people you feel that you can trust deeply. Every hit you take is an opportunity to change. Motivation isn't something you feel but something you are. Winning brings attention. Bad periods are part of your whole journey, you got there partly thanks to them. Be in the moment, not in your head, as it mostly produces negative thoughts. Keep shooting confidently even if you've just failed five shoots in a row, you can fail but still be good. Give people their confidence back when you see them doubting. Don't force apparently good things on people who do not need it. Beliefs dictate outcomes. Talk about what you feel without using it as an reason for your failure. Focus on what you can do today to get closer to your goals, not on the goal itself. What is the point of seeing the glass half empty? Always see the glass half full. Hold no grudge. You feel satisfied when you win, but also when you have fun. Share your story regardless of outside judgments for the few people who will be inspired by it.
