“What does it mean to be mentally fit? It means presence. No matter what I’m doing, my attention is locked. It means awareness. I can see my surroundings with clarity and I can calculate my options. It means calm and composure in those big moments when the pressure is on. It means resilience. ”
– Lebron James
