The ability to manage your emotions and remain calm under pressure has a direct link to your performance.

I practice staying calm all the time, beginning with situations that aren't tense.

When I compete, I tell myself to be calm. It's not something that's the rest of your life. You're in gymnastics for fun.

I'm much calmer as I get older, but I'm still just as capable of getting that strung-out stressed-out feeling of mental and spiritual unwellness.

No - I'm quite calm inside during the game for most of the time - not 100%, but generally very calm.

I tend to be very relaxed on stage, but the nerves have to come out somehow.

I've been one of those people that hold on to a little bit more stress than others. People take certain situations a little bit differently.

I would say I stay pretty calm. Don't let the game get too fast on me. I try to keep my emotions in check, I guess, so I don't show that anything fazes me out there. And I try to take it one pitch at a time.

I react to stress badly. I handle it better these days. But I'm a very straightforward person.

I'm pretty good at remaining calm during an emergency. My house burned down when I was 12, which made me really pragmatic about what needed to be done. But I can be bad in that I compartmentalize a lot of emotions and push them away to deal with them at a later date.
