I'm quite detached from failure and success. Once a shooting is done, I kind of close that chapter in my life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I spend most of my life feeling like I've been shot out of a cannon.
I am far more comfortable with failure than I ever will be with success.
But you come to a point in your life when you can't pull the trigger anymore.
I'm drawn to failure. I feel like I'm contending with it constantly in my own life.
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.
I don't dwell on success. Maybe that's one reason I'm successful.
The sport of shooting is my life.
If I go home from a day of shooting, and I haven't at some point felt the magic, I'm really frustrated.
You only get one shot in your life, and you might as well push yourself and try things.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
