Quotable moments:

"If you can just stay focused on hitting your best shot each time, preparing for their best shot, hitting your best shot, preparing for that, their best shot, the more that you're immersed in the moment." - Dr. Alex Auerbach

"We now have tons of data that shows that mindfulness practice as little as 12 minutes a day for six to eight weeks is enough to change the physical structure of our brain and allow us to do a few things better, right?" - Dr. Alex Auerbach

"At the highest levels of sport, the things that are most likely to distract you are not the crowd, but it's the internal dialogue you have about stuff that is not relevant to your performance right now." - Dr. Alex Auerbach
