The first time I made it to the NFR and didn't win, I was sure I'd have other chances. I was just excited to be there. But later on, I started to wonder if it would ever happen.

I was on a roll before that. But that set me back. It was probably the low point of my career.

I learned that everybody at this level can compete, so it's all about who can stay focused the longest. So I never let my mind wander.
